President Jacob Zuma’s wife Thobeka Madiba-Zuma has shared a loving message about her husband, who she has been with for more than 24 years.
In the message, she recounts the first day she met him when she was 21 years old. He had gone to a bank that day, where she worked as a banker. The president was obviously taken by the woman, who was to be his wife and mother of his children.
The first lady says it has not been a smooth ride since that day, but the troubles have only strengthened her love for her husband.
“We have been through many, many storms and lived in different cities, yet our love has stood the test of time. After all these years, I’m still in love with you.”
These are the same storms that will help the couple climb mountains together and become a force to be reckoned with, she says. The first lady, who says she has fallen in love with the president many times, says her reality is better than her dreams.
