I have fought corruption.

I'm a very honest politician.

The results will be very good.

It's just a figment of the imagination.

Criminality is always the result of poverty.

African problems should have African solutions.

The ANC is more important than the Constitution.

No one person can be above the ANC. He can't be.

...The people love him. So how can we condemn him?

The Constitution is only there to regulate matters.

The ANC will rule South Africa until Jesus comes back.

Africa suffered under European dominance for centuries.

There is no cloud above my head - there is not even a mist.

A shower would minimise the risk of contracting the disease.

Those who vote for the ANC will be blessed on earth and heaven

Africa has decided to take matters of instability into its own hands.

We have a history in South Africa of an entrenched white monopoly capital.

In no country are all the people factory owners. The majority are workers.

Aid should shift to investment. This will help countries stand on their own.

Once we have the infrastructure in Africa, it should not be blocked by borders.

As a citizen of this country, I've got to be honest to the people of South Africa.

You don't just end up with freedom when you have the vote. The struggle continues.

Even if you apply any kind of lotion and straighten your hair you will never be white.

The economy in South Africa was racially structured for many decades, if not centuries.

I don't think, in a country, you can have people thinking and feeling exactly the same.

You have fewer rights because you are a minority. Absolutely, that’s how democracy works.

Jan van Riebeeck's arrival in Cape Town was the beginning of all South Africa's problems.

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

We South Africans are also crazy about football, so the World Cup can be nothing but successful.

Me? Well, I don't know, I must go to a dictionary and learn what a crook is. I've never been a crook.

We have noted the appeal of Honorable Ambrosini about the decriminalizing of marijuana for medical use.

What made Nelson Mandela great was precisely what made him human. We saw in him what we seek in ourselves.

Something has gone wrong with Ronnie... He wasn't like that before. I don't know what went wrong with him.

The ancestors will turn their backs against you and you will have bad luck forever if you leave the ANC unhappy

We are a constitutional democracy. We must deal with things properly within the framework of the law and then the constitution.

We want to eradicate all mud schools. We are already doing so. We are not in a hurry because no one is going to rule but the ANC.

In government, things do not move too quick. That is why I am trying to introduce a new culture: so that things move more quickly.

All my life, I have served and will continue to serve the ANC in its pursuit of the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution.

My love of South Africa is not gray; it's not vague. It's very specific. It's in keeping with our Constitution - 'Unity in diversity.'

Theft and corruption in the private sector is as bad as that in government and must be dealt with decisively by law enforcement agencies.

I’ve always said that a wise businessperson will support the ANC… because supporting the ANC means you’re investing very well in your business

Our people are frustrated when we spend more time fighting among ourselves than focusing on solving the day-to-day challenges they experience.

I fear no motion of no confidence or impeachment, for they are the lawful mechanisms for the people of this beautiful country to remove their president.

That is a debatable point, whether South Africans are xenophobic. I don't you'd have the numbers that you have of foreigners if South Africa was xenophobic.

People tend to try to find something to talk about Zuma. My surname is very nice and simple. Very simple, so they like pronouncing it all the time. So what's the problem?

The majority in this country have not seen anything wrong with Zuma. I go with the overwhelming feeling of this country. If the majority say, 'Zuma, do this,' I will do it.

I just accept that, if my party and my compatriots wish that I be removed from office, they must exercise that right and do so in the manner prescribed in the Constitution.

Same sex marriage is a disgrace to the nation and to God. When I was growing up, ‘ungqingili’ [homosexuals in isiZulu] could not stand in front of me, I would knock him out.

When I joined the ANC, I never thought I would be anything. In no way, did I say, 'One day I could be the president. I think I am good material for the presidency.' Not at all.

Our media, which is very open and report on really everything, tend to exaggerate the crime issue...This is why one gets the impression that we have much more crime than other countries.
