Jacob Zuma The youth of the ANC, ever since 1944 when it was established, has been very vocal. It has made suggestions on things so that, at times, old people said, ‘What are you doing?’ That is its nature. Alliance partners, they have always raised issues. In fact, that is what brings vibrancy in the alliance. People misread that as huge fights. – Jacob Zuma

Jacob Zuma I am forever indebted to the ANC, the liberation movement I have served almost all my life. – Jacob Zuma
