Guys, Even Google Maps Is Taking The Piss Out Of Zuma

Google Maps has saved my bacon on more than a few occasions, but it isn't usually the place I go for a chuckle. Looks like everyone is over JZ.

Everyone knows that the Donald lives in the White House, and across the pond, the almost as awful Theresa May calls 10 Downing Street home.

It’s a little more confusing here at home, given that we have ‘capitals’ dotted across the country.

So let’s say you wandered onto Google Maps to satisfy your curiosity, typing in “South African Presidency”.

Uh, check the address you would have seen during the course of yesterday:

That’s right, the President’s residence was listed as Saxonwold, which I’m pretty sure you know is where the Gupta compound is located.

More from Fin24:

The faux address which read “Saxonwold Drive, Randburg” as the location for the South African Presidency had been changed back to “The Presidency Office” at the Union Buildings in Pretoria by Wednesday evening.

All good things must come to an end.
