uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) Party leader Jacob Zuma has been spotted wearing a R1,5 million luxury watch – an Audemars Piguet to be exact – while casting his vote in Nkandla in the general elections on Wednesday, 29 May.

The former president of South Africa was spotted in full party regalia in his hometown in KwaZulu-Natal.

Zuma is believed to own a watch collection worth almost R3 million.

ZUMA WEARS DESIGNER WATCH TO CAST VOTE

On Wednesday afternoon, Jacob Zuma visited the Ntolwane Primary School in Nkandla to cast his vote in the general elections.

In images posted on the MK Party X account, the 82-year-old wore a gold shirt and cap adorned with the political party’s logo.

On his left arm was a notable piece of jewellery—a rose gold Audemars Piguet Royal Pack Chroma worth R1.5 million.

According to Luxurytime SA, the Swiss designer brand is part of the premium collection of luxury watches.

The brand is favoured by celebrities like Jay Z, Kevin Hart, and Drake.

According to EWN, this will be the first time that Zuma has not voted for the ANC during an election. Instead, he has been campaigning for his new political party – the MK Party – to regain his presidential power.

Formed just six months ago, the party has already been labelled the “wild card” in the general elections.
