Zuma a hero of the masses - Des van Rooyen
29 May 2017
Johannesburg - When the real history is told, President Jacob Zuma will be remembered for bringing hope to millions of South Africa's citizens, Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Des van Rooyen said.
Van Rooyen sang Zuma's praises during the opening of the Traditional Leaders Indaba at Birchwood Hotel on the East Rand on Monday morning.
"That the institution of traditional leaders is now well recognised in the democratic South Africa is in no small way... [because of] the leadership of our current leaders, [like] President Zuma," he said.
Van Rooyen said Zuma should be celebrated as the leader whose hallmark has been the struggle for the voiceless.
