I don't know how many people here would be aware of our president and his lavishness. I post two links here. The first is the official story. The second more in line with what I believe is going on there.
Fact is, the money spent is exorbitant. This in a country where the majority of people live in horrid poverty. These are the same people who voted him into power, because he made promises of housing etc etc etc. Of course, very little of that happens because he is a greedy, corrupt and money grabbing crook.
To think $33m spent on security upgrades, and according to the story it is for a fence, a pool and a cattle kraal. What is it made of? Pure gold? When I tell people the only thing that could possible cost that much, is an underground bunker for him, his 5 wives and his numerous children, they think I am crazy.
The worst is, that he simply does not care and yet people still vote for him. It baffles the mind...

I am hoping ascension comes quickly as I watch the world in insanity mode.
Seems that everything bad in our world is politically motivated. Your always welcome here if you need be.
Justin it has been the way of life since the medieval times to live in a castle and be surrounded by serfs. When O went to Africa and said to the black people that not everybody will be allowed to have a nice house and an air conditioner he was telling them they were to be kept poor on purpose. What is bothering me while watching Africa is that there is a white genocide going on there, I certainly home you are not anywhere near where it is occurring.

South Africa Back on The Road to Xhosa-Zulu Conflict!

What really irks me is that for that kind of money they could build thousands of houses for people currently living in shacks. They could feed the poor for many years. They could teach people to farm, get community land allocated and teach people to grow their own food. But no, he is entitled.
The story goes much deeper though. The division in the party is now not racial (as in black/white) but tribal. The previous two presidents were Xhosa and Zuma is the first Zulu president. The feud between Xhosa and Zulu has been going on for centuries. Now that the Zulus have power they are not prepared to let it go, hence they support and keep Zuma in power to protect the Zulu dominance. It is all about politics and the poor people on the ground are merely useful. They care not for peace and stability, they care only for grabbing all the wealth and plundering the state coffers.
