Jacob Zuma, South Africa
Immediate past president of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, said he never went to school but was self-educated.
“I never went to school, but I educated myself. I’m proud of that,” he told pupils at Marhulana Primary School, one of the oldest schools in the country. “I took a decision to educate myself when I realized I didn’t have a choice, because my father had just died.”
