Zuma's birthday bash in pictures

President Jacob Zuma celebrated his 75th birthday in Kliptown on Wednesday.

Zuma, speaking in Zulu at the ANC organised celebration event, said his age was only a number because he was still going strong.

During his time in the ANC Zuma said he had seen a lot of backstabbing in the party and it would take a lot to hurt him, including being called names.

“In my time serving the ANC, [I have] seen some turn into cowards and some turn against what they had been fighting for,” he said.

Our photographers Leon Sadiki and Jacquelyn Guillen captured the big day.
