Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu-“I still kneel and submit to my husband despite being head of state now”

DODOMA-(MaraviPost)-President Samia Suluhu has revealed that she still kneels and submits to her husband depite her political position.

Samia who became the first female President of the East African country following the death of President John Magufuli, made the statement while she was the Vice President of Tanzania, adding that she knelt before her husband not because she’s inferior, but because of love and affection. 

She advised that such tradition should not be thrown out as it strengthens family bond and ensure children are brought up with good manners. 

In her words: ‘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.’
