South African President, Jacob Zuma on Sunday revealed there has been  attempts on his life, saying he was poisoned

and almost died because of his stance on socio-economic transformation and land reform.  

According to him, 'I was poisoned and almost died just because South Africa joined Brics (the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa business communities) under my leadership, they said I was going to destroy the country'.

The president spoke while addressing the African National Congress (ANC) Cadres’ Forum in Phongolo, KwaZulu-Natal saying he became a target after calling for radical economic transformation.
