Cape Town, February 11, 2026 – In a stunning revelation that’s rocking South African political circles, renowned investigator Paul O’Sullivan has claimed that former President Jacob Zuma fathered a child with the late Dudu Myeni, the controversial former chairperson of South African Airways.
O’Sullivan, known for his dogged pursuit of high-profile corruption cases, dropped the allegation during a recent interview on a local radio show. “Zuma and Myeni were far closer than anyone knew,” he stated bluntly. “They had a son together, born in secrecy during their time together. The evidence is there—documents, witnesses. It’s time the public knows.”
Myeni, who died in 2021 amid ongoing probes into state capture scandals, was a fierce Zuma loyalist. Their alliance fueled endless speculation, but O’Sullivan’s claim elevates it to a personal bombshell. He hinted at suppressed birth records and insider testimonies but stopped short of naming the child, citing privacy concerns and ongoing investigations.
Zuma’s office has yet to respond, but allies dismissed it as “malicious gossip” from a “disgruntled detective.” O’Sullivan, undeterred, has a track record of exposing elite secrets—from Gupta dealings to rogue cops—lending weight to his words.
This isn’t just tabloid fodder; it reopens wounds from the Zuma era, blending politics, power, and paternity. Will DNA tests or court battles follow? South Africa watches closely as old ghosts stir.
In a nation craving transparency, O’Sullivan’s probe could rewrite legacies—or fizzle out. Stay tuned
