As I bury the truth inside
President Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma has been known to the public as a rather discreet and private person who only addresses what he feels is important and keeps the rest to himself. However one would expect that regarding such a sensitive issue he would atleast answer to the people so as to put them at ease for using their money unknowingly and misleading parliament. After all leaving the issue unanswered will NEVER make it disappear because not only will EFF persist on annoying him but people will always have a negative image of him.
Serving the people or standing by Zuma?

The cabinet
|
There had been previous investigations pertaining the Nkandla security saga however the report initially suggested that the President had not used the states money and things were left at that. However upon the release of the recent report suggesting that he had infact used the money, boycotts were initiated. So one wonders whether infact Jacob Zuma's
cabinet condemns the use of the states' money without authority or they just securing their jobs by standing by the president because if that wasn't the case then why is it that they merely boycotting now when the report shows that he used the money? Why weren't such things done when the initial report suggested that Jacob Zuma had not used money?
Whether Jacob Zuma violated the executive ethics code or not, the public will never know for sure because there seems to be a lot of people who are standing by him and are more than willing to protect him and his position at all costs.
Faulty presidency
The question that should be in everyone's heads shouldn't be how much security one man and his family need but rather, whether there is any honesty and righteousness from the presidency. We could accuse him all we want and question his leadership but he definitely didn't misled parliament alone and certainly didn't benefit from the money alone. where are the people who signed or authored for the money transfer? isn't there a person who is appointed to oversee that money is used sparingly and properly? Why then is it that the blame is entirely on Jacob Zuma
whereas there is a panel of people involved in the process? In order to get to the bottom of the whole money issue the President along with his whole cabinet should be called to answer to the allegations and not merely the President alone.
