GUESTS at President Jacob Zuma's 70th birthday party at the ICC in Durban were entertained when two of his daughters asked him questions about his life.
Some of his candid answers had them in stitches, while others gave a rare glimpse into his private thoughts. His daughters Phumzile and Thuthukile revealed his favourite TV shows are Fawlty Towers and Mr Bean, while he also has a soft spot for local screen legend Leon Schuster.
