ZUMA TO SPLURGE ON A JET EVEN AS NATIONAL DEBT SOARS & THE ECONOMY WOBBLES
Congress of the people wants to condemn in the strongest possible terms the plans by government to spend R4billion on a new jet for president Zuma. While the country is in flames, students are up in arms over fee increases that they cannot afford and the lines of the jobless grow ever longer, it is a national disgrace that this government wants to waste so much money to indulge the President.
President Zuma, unbelievably, earns ten times more that Xi Jinping of China, seven times more than Narendra Modi of India and ten times more than Shinzoe Abe of Japan according to information carried by BizNews.com. Russia’s Vladimir Putin takes home only 60% of what President Zuma banks.
As for the size of President Zuma’s cabinet, it is about three times larger than that of the USA, Russia, Brazil, Germany, UK, Nigeria, and France.
With the national debt at R1.85-trillion as at today, according to SA National Debt Clock, splurging on a jet is to break the camel’s back.
