Zuma said that owning and taking care of a dog is a part of white culture and is un-African. He said that black people who buy dogs and take them for walks are part of a new problem of black Africans trying to be white.
In a speech on Wednesday, he also commented on other racial issues, openly stating:
“Even if you apply any kind of lotion and straighten your hair you will never be white”.
Zuma’s spokesperson Mr. Mac Maharaj later issued a statement stating the president was only trying to “decolonise the African mind post-liberation” and encourage black Africans to “love who they are and uphold their own culture”.
