President Zuma said that owning and walking a dog, and even taking one to the vet, were not African activities, and was just copying white culture.
He described people who love dogs more than humans as 'having a lack of humanity'. President Zuma reportedly told an audience of black South Africans on Wednesday to stop adopting the habits of other cultures. 'Even if you apply any kind of lotion and straighten your hair you will never be white. Meanwhile his office have released a message saying that the message of his speech 'was the need to decolonise the African mind post-liberation.'
'This is not to say that animals should not be loved or cared for. The message merely emphasised the need not to elevate our love for our animals above our love for other human beings,' they said. Alot of black south africans have reacted by posting photos of themselves walking their dogs on social media. Though he has a point there alot of people treat their dogs like their babies and they would never be human.
