President Samia Suluhu 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 averred that such tradition should not be thrown out as it strengthens family bond and ensure 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 right
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.’
