Using government money to build a mansion while
your country is struggling economically and the poverty rates are increasing, is
a very irresponsible move to make President Jacob Zuma.
President Zuma during parliament.
The citizens of this country have elected the
president to be a leader and bring about change in the current state that this
country is in. Instead of improving the economy or building schools or
providing proper health care for the rural places in this country, our
president decides to spend millions on a huge mansion. As if the
benefits that government leadership receives isn't already enough and highly
unnecessary, the president still feels the need to be in a more luxurious
environment while most of his people still live in shacks.
I personally think that he is taking advantage
of the position that he’s been given and is not fulfilling the duties that is
expected of him. Instead of improving the circumstances of the citizens of
South Africa, the president has managed to build an empire for himself that
allows him to live like a king while his people are hungry, uneducated,
homeless and hopeless. Bear in mind that these people are part of the reason
for where he is today.
South Africans should all stand together to
make sure that the money that was stolen from hardworking taxpayers, by the
‘leader’ himself, will be paid back in full. We are being bullied and treated
like idiots by our own government, a system that is meant to look out for us
and build us.
The Famous Nkandla House
If we allow these kinds of situations to happen in our country
without a fight, we should basically stop expecting corruption to end when the
biggest culprit is the person we call our president. If action is not taken
upon the president for this disgusting deed, I urge people to rethink whether
we’re living in democratic justice system or whether we’re lead to believe that
we are.South Africa stand up for yourself and see when
you’re being fooled!
The Nkandla report trended on twitter for quite some time. showing you that social media played a big ole in letting South Africans know what their President was up to.
Million Dollar Nkandla
The final costs of Nkandla are is a
staggering amount of R246 million, but is believed to be higher. The original
cost was R27 million, but this increased dramatically after Zuma’s private
architect worked on it., Minenhle Makhanya, was appointed by the department of
public works.
He often recommended more luxurious and expensive options instead
of going with the cheaper options and made R16.5 million (calculated as a
percentage of costs) from the Nkandla project. Zuma should of acted when the
Mail & Guardian blew the whistle in 2009 on the R65 million the project
cost at that time.
To make matters worse is that he doesnt even care about his surrounding village because if you see his neighbours, they live in poverty and its not like some of the services in his homestead are open to the public because that would have made more sense.
I agree with you because to me this shows me that there is a abuse of power in the current government and a lack of care for the following South African.
I think that our president is a very selfish man. He should just come clean and say that he was the one who approved the upgrades on his house. He needs to wake up and smell the coffee because South Africa is loosing faith in him
Their has been a loss in faith in our president a clear example is when he was booed after addressing the nation at the memorial of Madiba while a foreign president namely Obama was being cheered by the masses.
This sort of being portrayed by our own president sets a bad example to the future leaders of our country. I mean, someone's child might have looked up to him. He should just spare our country the embarrassment and step down as the president of South Africa.
I personally do not believe that him stepping down is the correct way of handling things personally i believe before he ends his reign as president he should leave the country in a better state that he found it in.
In is first reign it was already cleared that he only catered for his own needs while some children did not even have textbooks to further their education that to me is another clear example of his lack of care for South African society.
The president does most definitely not care about his country and their needs.I personally feel that the money used to build this home could have been used for orphanages within South Africa or even to build more schools and get more people educated.educated. Zuma has done South Africa wrong with this one.
Zuma followed in the footsteps of the previous presidents who personally benefited from tax money. His situation just seems a bit extreme because he failed to effectively manage the crises as soon as eyebrows were raised. I discuss this in detail on my blog at intellectualswagg.blogspot.com
I do agree because I do believe that he has followed in the footsteps of other president who were ethically and immorally correct by benefiting on taxpayers hard earned money.
I really do believe Mr Jacob Zuma was very irresponsible by using the publics tax money for his own home. I strongly believe he should bring the money back , he could have used it for poor people.
