Vusi Nhlakanipho Zuma preferred to keep a low profile when it came to his relatives. Zuma was the son of former president Jacob Zuma and chose to stay out of the spotlight when it came to matters relating to his family. This is according to his long-time friend Lusanda Komanisi.
Vusi, 25, died on Sunday at Milpark Hospital after suffering complications of systematic lupus erythematosus.
He was born to Zuma’s late wife Kate Mantsho, who committed suicide in 2000 when Vusi was eight years old. He was the youngest of five children and his siblings include twins Duduzane and Duduzile Zuma.
Vusi’s friend, Komanisi, a long-time professional boxer and former International Boxing Organisation champion, who trained with him at the late Nick Durandt’s gym in Norwood, said he did not want to talk about his father.
