Most Humble And Knowledgeable Leader: Shivambu Sings Zumas Praises On His 83rd Birthday

MK Party secretary-general Floyd Shivambu hailed Jacob Zuma as one of the most humble and knowledgeable political leaders during the party leader's 83rd birthday celebration in Soweto at the weekend.

Shivambu praised Zuma's humility, knowledge, decisiveness, revolutionary spirit and commitment to the Freedom Charter.

Hes a humble servant of the people, Shivambu said.

That is what makes him great. Theres no one who can ever rise to greatness unless they are humble. Zuma is the humblest of leaders. You can see it in how he interacts with everyone wherever he is. He talks with everyone, irrespective of social standing, age, class, religious affiliation and irrespective of whether that person has money or not. Zuma listens to every person who speaks to him with maximum respect, that is a demonstration of humility.

Shivambu joined the MK Party last year after resigning from the EFF. Speaking about the short time he has worked with Zuma, he said he was fortunate to work closely with him despite previously criticising him.
