Pay back our tax money



The Nkandla Report

Arial photograph of the Nkandla mansion. 
Who on earth would build such a huge house using the states money, I mean did the President think he was going to get away with it ? I did not think so.  As a leader, the President was not being transparent by denying and not acknowledging that he was indeed aware of the upgrades that were taking place at his homestead.

The President stole R247 million, tax money that was initially supposed to be used to build schools, new/renew roads, hospital and aid job creation. This was very selfish of him and displayed immense greed on top of the benefits and privileges he is entailed to I believe he did not need upgrades to his home, it is the last thing that is expected from a leader of a nation.

I am telling you that the President abused his power by taking from people who put him in that position in the first place, I say that it was wrong of the President  to choose not to admit to stealing the money .What he did was unethical and was more than just a security upgrade, this is pure corruption nothing more and nothing less.

I don’t understand why government management receives the amount of privileges and benefits that they do. They certainly don’t need it as much as the citizens of this country. Poverty is at a high rate in South Africa and surely the President is aware of this issue. Instead of investing money into schools and proper health care especially in the rural areas, he decides to build a mansion, and for what? How can leader live with himself in his luxurious lifestyle while his people, the people that gave him that position, are suffering?  He needs to make some changes by implementing the plans that he’s always promising to deliver. Or maybe a new leader, someone with a better understanding of what a leader is, should be put in Jacob Zuma’s place.

  1. firstly I would like to complement your blog layout it is really good but I dont agree with your opinion MR ZUMA didnt ask for an upgrade, so dont say he stole money if he stole if he would be behind bars as we speak

  2. Thank you Sbomgaumusa for your complement as well as you comment but, if Zuma did not ask for an upgrade why is there an Nkandla and I say he stole the money because research shows that no one gave it to him he took and that is regarded as stealing, he is not behind bars because he has not acknowledged that he was in the wrong. Have an awesome day.

  3. Zuma has showed over and over again that he doesnt belong in the presidency chair but people still vote for him and as for the comment of the fellow blogger above, imagine how bad it would look if the president of the country was behind bars for stealing the country's money hence why he hasn't even been reprimanded.

  7. President Jacob Zuma is just one person i'd like to see and ask him "how do you sleep at night"? He does not even upgrade his community first to at least not stand out alone with that palace. The state must change that into a hotel and generate money for South Africa.

  8. I am honestly disappointed with our president what he did was very selfish and unforgivable ,and he has to own up to what he has done in Nkandla

  9. Buhle you deserve a virtual chocolate because it shows that he does not care for anyone but himself I mean how can a huge palace stand in the middle of a rural area it shows that he did not think things through.

  11. The big question is, when is he paying back the money. It will take time for the president to admit that made a mistake. This whole shenanigans must just come to an end
