Samia Suluhu, the President of Tanzania has
revealed that she still kneels and submits to
her husband even when she was the Vice
President of Tanzania.
Samia, who became the first female
President of the East African country
following the death of President John
Magufuli, stated that she knelt before her
husband not because she’s inferior but
because of love and affection.
She said that such tradition should not be
thrown out as it strengthens the family bond
and ensures children are brought up with
good manners.
Samia said, “Some of you will say we are
equal in all aspects of society, No! That’s not
the correct position. Even as vice president, I
will kneel before my husband. I don’t kneel
because I am inferior; it’s because of love
and affection.
‘Don’t leave this tradition so we can
strengthen the bond of our families and bring
up our children through good manners.”
