Jacob Zuma Sayings

#1. Jacob Zuma built a 2 million rand swimming pool, but no one in the family knows how to swim

Julius Malema

#2. God expects the ANC to rule this country because we are the only organisation which was blessed by pastors when it was formed. It is even blessed in Heaven.

Jacob Zuma

Jacob Zuma

Jacob Zuma

#6. Having a member who serves in the Government and who also belongs to the structures of the party does not retard this particular objective the separation of party and state. It does not.
