Jacob Zuma is the current President of South Africa and has been accused of corruption on numerous occasions, past and present. The fact that he has used over 200 million Rand of government and tax payers money on his new presidential mansion/complex has done nothing to help improve his image among his doubters.
The fact the the government has allowed for this to happen in a country that is severely poverty stricken is completely unacceptable. Zuma continually promises an improved economy and better living condition for those affected by poverty, but then decides to construct himself a mansion while trying to cover it up by paying for the housing of the surrounding locals.
This money could have been used to improve infrastructure, educational facilities etc.But once again he has contradicted himself. One must again question his ability as the President of South Africa...

Poverty: definition
-the state of being inferior in
quality or insufficient in amount
-the state of being really poor.
In the
economy minority continues to carry out the transformation towards production
for the south african economy, the strengthening of the export sector, and the
growth of luxury goods production such as Jacob Zuma , South African current
president house in Kwa-Zulu Natal .
There has
been no significant change of the economy away since aparthied, this is kept so
by the political members who seek rent and have no interest in South
Africa and its econmic growth
Parliament’s
public committee Scopa and public works
department on the upgrade of President Jacob Zuma’s private home in Nkandla,
KwaZulu-Natal.
Nkandla-RF
South Africa's very own President
Jacob Zuma and his scandal with him buidling a luxury home in nkandla he
became the president on December 18 of 2007 Kwa-Zulu Natal for R250 000 000,
where there are only 30 houses and 5 of the houses are his.
To Z or not to Z
It is no lie that our country is not the best, with our corrupt government and crime rate. Many people blame Jacob Zuma for our country's reputation. We are known as the rape capital of the world and i am not proud of this title (no-one should be).
But we do nothing to change this. In spite of all of this we can not even trust our police the people who are supposed to keep us safe. People fear the metro police, I know I do.
Jacob Zuma spends our tax money on personal luxuries, like his enormous house. But then denies that the money is even his to begin with. He is corrupt and a bad president. But he is not the only one in our government with corruption problems and can not be the only one to blame.

Nkandla
Nkandla, Zuma's new home created in the center of a township. He spent R750 million on his home alone and R250 million.
''On Thursday, Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence tabled a report detailing the reasons for R206 million in public funds having been spent to upgrade security at President Zuma’s residence.
The report, produced by a task team appointed by the ministers of police and public works, painted a picture of Nkandla as a place under siege – needing expensive new measures to combat the “high risk” of everything from firestorms and floodwaters to assassination, rape, air disaster and disease.''
I personally feel that instead saying that our country is in trouble and poverty is everywhere and then building 1billion rands worth of home and security he could spend the money on helping the country get out of its situation.

Nkandla - Julia Brown
The ANC has always been known as the party that freed South Africa from the pain and suffering South Africa was experiencing in the past. Now it is in the papers for all the wrong reasons. Our president, Jacob Zuma, has recently built a mansion costing R750 million to call his home, whilst surrounding him are people who barely have their basic human right of shelter satisfied. What does this say about our country? We state we are on the road to freedom, but the only road we are making is the R582 million road for the driveway up to his house. Worse yet, is the fact that the money spent is not out of Jacob Zuma's pocket. but our country's.
Nkandla - Nina Kisbey-Green
Nkandla, a township situated in Kwa-Zulu Natal. But it is not just any random township, it has about 115000 residents spread sparsely over a large are of the uThungulu district. The media seems to be suppressing news on what is happening on the area where our president is allegedly spending our countries money to build a himself a costly mansion, referred to as a "homestead" by the president. The Nkandla district and what the president is doing with tax payers money is causing public outrage, as millions of dollars have been spent on Zuma's private "homestead" instead of providing necessary services for the country that we are lacking, such as hospitals, schools, and roads full of potholes.
