First Lady Zuma Shares How Jacob Zuma Wooed Her! <\/strong>Mrs Thobeka Madiba-Zuma often gushes over her marriage to the President on her Instagram and for thew first time she opened up about how JZ won her over.
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs Zuma says she met JZ in 1993 when she worked as a banker and he was her client. She went on to share how he would call her mother\u2019s landline and leave her messages when she wasn\u2019t home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time I was working and studying at the same time. I would work during the day and attend lectures at night and I would be home very late in the evening. I would come home and my mother would say, \u2018There\u2019s a Jacob Zuma who called.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a straight face, expressionless and I would hold my breath. Okay, let her not ask me \u2018who was Jacob Zuma?\u2019, because there\u2019s only one, who was called a terrorist (at the time),\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

The first lady said she then told Zuma that he should call when she\u2019d be home. They started dating, got engaged and eventually got married in 2010.<\/p>\n
