Former president Jacob Zuma says political freedom means nothing without economic freedom

Seated in front of a Jacob G Zuma Foundation banner and clad in a golf shirt with his foundation's emblem, Zuma was apparently sharing these thoughts during an interview he had with Wits Young Communist League leaders at his home in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal.

“If we say this is the month of the youth, what is it that we do to appreciate this? We always say the future belongs to the young but it is important for the youth to not wait but that they prepare. Zuma said graduates should use their knowledge as activism and fight for change in their specific field of expertise.
