Jacob Zuma is one of South Africa’s most controversial political figures. Many know him as the former ANC leader. He served as the country’s president from 2009 to 2018. His time in office was marked by major debates and scandals.
More recently, Zuma returned to politics with his new party, uMkhonto weSizwe. His political comeback sparked fierce conversations nationwide. However, most people still view him mainly through the lens of politics.
Few have seen the man beyond the rallies and speeches. Yet, away from power struggles, Zuma is simply a grandfather who values family above everything else.
