Zuma must pay back millions. Sweden’s COVID-19 record. Queen returns to duties. Starlink in SA. Gary Player’s son banned from Masters. Mick Jagger on anti-vaxxers.
In an ironic turn of events, members of parliament chanted that EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu should “pay back the money”.
It’s been a long, long time coming, but eventually Zuma has coughed up the cash for all those extra upgrades his private residence enjoyed.
The Constitutional Court has spoken and this time it’s damning – JZ will need to cough up some cash and he may pay the ultimate price.
Today has the potential to be a massive day for the South African political landscape, 11 judges handing down a ruling on a rather pressing question.
Defending your head of state against assassinations and attacks is a necessary evil. So how does Nkandla’s safe haven bunker look after our dear JZ?
We know that Jacob Zuma behaves like a rap mogul at the top of his game from time to time but you’ve never heard him like this. Someone has played out of their boots.
Sometimes there isn’t much you can do but have a laugh at the shambles that is the South African government. May as well start with the firepool fiasco then.
We could all use a laugh after yesterday’s Nkandla news, and it being a Friday and all we thought we’d treat you to some poetic brilliance.
Looks like there will be some backslapping tonight after the Police Minister declared Zuma will not have to pay back a single cent for Nkandla. Oh, and about that fire pool.
The finger-pointing regarding the xenophobic attacks extended into parliament when Julius took his opportunity to lay into JZ and his family.
Well it only took days, months and years but eventually South Africa (and the EFF) got their chance to ask JZ the question that has been uttered, chanted and screamed from rooftops around the country.
So what should we expect this time around then? Will we see absolute chaos or have parliament learnt their lesson from the debacle that was SONA? Only time will tell.
Jacob Zuma dropped a bombshell Sunday when he claimed he had never been nervous in his life before. Roll up your sleeves Julius, there is work to be done.
In what may be the most misguided and ill-timed social media campaign this year the South African presidency has attempted to engage with the public ahead of SONA.
Will Zuma’s Nkandla woes be answered when his #bestfriendforever throws a fundraiser for him?
