Compiled by the Government Communication and Information System Date: 07 Feb 2010 Title: President Jacob Zuma''s statement on the impact of events of the past week -------------------- I have over the past week taken time to consider and reflect on the issues relating to a relationship I had outside of wedlock. The matter, though private, has been a subject of much public discussion and debate. It has put a lot of pressure on my family and my organisation, the African National Congress. I also acknowledge and understand the reaction of many South Africans. I deeply regret the pain that I have caused to my family, the ANC, the Alliance and South Africans in general. I reiterate that I took responsibility for my actions towards the family concerned and the child. I reaffirm my commitment and that of my movement to the importance of the family as an institution. I also reaffirm my commitment and that of my movement to the values of personal responsibility, respect and dignity. I recognise the responsibility of leaders to uphold and promote these values at all times. Enquiries contact Zingaphi Jakuja on 082 766 3940 Issued by the Presidency Union Buildings Pretoria |
