The newspapers in South Africa publishes forbidden pictures of President Zuma's residence

on November 22, 2013

The newspapers in South Africa, defiled orders from the ruling African National Congres ANC, and published photos where President Jacob Zuma lives. The pictures revealed the luxurious lifestyle the president and his family enjoys in a country where millions live in poverty.

Zuma’s residence, known as Nkandla, has a home gym, helicopter pads, a mini football field and a pen for his livestock that reportedly cost $98,400 to build.

Last year, it was alleged that Zuma spend $28 million in state funds to refurbish the compound. Zuma has denied the claims.

South Africans had a field day on tweeting pictures of Nkandla in further defiance of orders and pleas by the Police and the ruling party who claim that publishing the pictures of where the President lives is a security risk.
