Rev KRJ Meshoe, MP and ACDP President today said President Zuma does not take morality seriously:

"The ACDP is shocked by the report that President Zuma has fathered a love child with the daughter of his close friend, Irvin Khoza. The birth of this child is a clear indication that Zuma is not using condom and is undermining the safe sex message of his own government.

We find this unacceptable for a head of State not to take morality seriously and set a bad example, particularly for young men in the country. South Africa needs leaders who are morally upright and accountable.

The ACDP is extremely disappointed in President Zuma's increasingly unbecoming behavior that brings shame to our nation.

A man who already has three wives living with him has no moral right to continue sleeping around with women he is not married to.

We believe President Zuma needs counseling and sex addiction therapy, as was recommended for Tiger Woods who has a similar problem of sleeping around."
