The DA has launched a new online advertisement, following the laying of criminal charges against President Jacob Zuma, after the Public Protector’s Nkandla report was released, this week.
So far R246-million of public money has been spent on the President’s home.
The advert, featuring DA Gauteng Premier candidate Mmusi Maimane, went live on Saturday, March 22.
The Public Protector clearly found that the President personally appointed service providers, without going to tender, to build extensive luxuries, including a cattle kraal, chicken run, visitors’ centre, amphitheatre, swimming pool and extensive paving.
The Public Works Department is on record in the report, citing this as a key reason why it did not go to tender.
The advert makes the case that Zuma’s ANC is no longer the ANC of Mandela, Tambo and Mbeki.
South Africans will have the opportunity to vote on May 7.
