SA ladies swoon over Zuma’s traditional Zulu outfit

The 83-year-old politician, known for his strong ties to his Zulu heritage, donned the regal outfit during an event in KwaZulu-Natal, drawing admiration from many, especially Mzansi ladies.

Zuma, wearing a leopard-print headband, traditional beads, and a classic Zulu shield and spear, appeared confident as he walked. The video, shared on TikTok under the handle @hheeeesheeee, quickly went viral, sparking an unexpected wave of praise from South African women.

Despite the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party leader’s controversial political history, this latest appearance reminded many South Africans of his deep cultural connections and his role in preserving traditional practices. Some online users also pointed out that the outfit suited him better than his usual formal political attire.

Traditional clothing holds deep significance in Zulu culture, and public figures embracing such heritage can positively influence the younger generation.

This moment of admiration for Zuma is a rare turn in public discourse, showing that in Mzansi, tradition and presentation still carry weight and sometimes, even former leaders can win hearts with a simple return to their roots.
