“I’m a 41-year-old and yes I love my father and he is an icon. His legacy will always be there but I am now my own man. No one can take away the legacy my father has built.
“I’m not here to compete with my father. He is doing his own thing and I support him through and through. We are all about changes and we need new leadership. The young must take charge. We are not going to canvass for votes but the youth will decide,” Duduzane said.
