Cape Town – Former president Jacob Zuma’s daughter Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla set tongues wagging last week when she took to Twitter to post a bottle of Don Julio 1942 Tequila as part of her father’s birthday celebrations.
Zuma turned 80 on Tuesday, April 12.

Zuma’s foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Many did not give details regarding which hospital Zuma was in, News24 reported.
“He is under strict observation.
“He is not even at home, he is in hospital. I will not say which hospital because that is a security issue. We will give updates as it unfolds,” said Manyi according to the report at the time.
Taking to social media, Zuma-Sambudla showed off the Tequila bottle and wrote:
“[Former] president Zuma belongs to the class of 1942,” wrote Zuma-Sambudla.
President Zuma Belongs To The Class Of 1942!
