Nkandla online advert goes live today

The DA has launched a new online advert today following the laying of criminal charges against President Zuma at the scene of the crime in Nkandla 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 this morning and can be viewed below. 

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 are on record in the report citing this as a key reason why they 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 have the opportunity to vote for clean government and job creation on 7 May.

Statement issued by Mmusi Maimane, DA National Spokesperson, March 22 2014
