Article: Zuma's upgrade needed: Maharaj

President Jacob Zuma's Nkandla homestead needs to be upgraded to house both his staff and those of visiting guests, his spokesman Mac Maharaj has said.

"What do you do when President Obama or an African head of state visits him? You can't send them to a hotel," he was quoted as saying on the UK's The Telegraph online on Tuesday.
 
Is this the same Mac Maharaj who allegedly received kickbacks from French arms manufacturer Thales?

I really, really have such respect for him.

:rolleyes:

Just how big is Zuma's dick?
 
Um, and we do expect European or Asian heads of state to stay in hotels?

Where would we send Obama or African heads of state at the moment?

I would be too concerned if this was being spent on a state owned presidential residence. The yanks have the White House and Camp David, so fair enough. But this is the Presidents private property ffs. He won't be prez forever. Do we have to foot the bill for the next presidents private compound so he can accommodate Obama and African heads of state too?

K@k excuse for the president basically lining his pockets while he can, Mac.
 
If it is a official visit from a head of state or other government officials from oorsee....then they should not be visiting him @ his homestead. I am pretty sure we have proper accomodations and protocol for heads of state already. If he wants his tjommies from other countries to visit him at his private homestead then that is for his own god damn account! fek off you clown!

Can you see how they lie and give pathetic excuses for him basically raping the coffers for his OWN benefit, not even the benefit of the country?!!
 
"Jacob Zuma has never been an easy fit for South Africa's chattering classes," she said.

"His existence challenges the notion of what it means to be black and middle-class in South Africa, and they will take any opportunity to attack him."

That's it, white people are just persecuting him when they question the wisdom of spending R200million of taxpayer money on home upgrades while rural schools dig holes for urinals.

Someone who is allegedly corrupt will never be an easy fit for me.
 
Visiting guests of state stay in Mahlamba Ndlopfu if I remember correctly (didn't they just spend large bucket loads of money upgrading this facility as well?)
 
Chattering classes? What on earth is a chattering class... Carl Jung said that humans make definitions, words, names to give to objects in an idea of having control over it. Everyone with an able brain (everyone in the country can understand that a quarter of a billion rand is insane...)... To have the audacity to label everyone as a chattering class is insane, arrogant, and a touch laughable... They truly living in a dream world...
 
Political commentator Karima Brown said the unconfirmed reports were another example of how the media were targeting Zuma.

"Jacob Zuma has never been an easy fit for South Africa's chattering classes," she said.

The chattering classes is a generally derogatory[1] term first coined by Auberon Waugh[2] often used by pundits and political commentators to refer to a politically active, socially concerned and highly educated section of the "metropolitan middle class,"[1] especially those with political, media, and academic connections. It is sometimes used to refer to a liberal elite, but its first use by British right wing polemicist Frank Johnson in 1980 appeared to include a wider range of pundits.[1] Indeed, the term is used by people all across the political spectrum to refer to the journalists and political operatives who see themselves as the arbiters of conventional wisdom.[3] As such, the notion of 'chattering classes' can be seen as an antonym to the older idea of an unrepresented Silent Majority (made famous by the U.S. Republican President Richard Nixon).

I thought political commentators are supposed to be objective and neutral. She used derogatory words to describe some of the voters - that is not on!
 
so big mac is also a blatent liar.
i have been involved in many us state visits over the years. there is no way on earth a visiting official will be staying in a private residence. the reasons are varied, anything from protocol to security issues come into play.

what of Kings House in Durban, probably one of the most majestic residences in the country (a quick 1 min walk from buddy schabir's house).

mac mac, liar liar - your pants are on fire !!
