The mansion drew numerous comments from citizens, with some condemning the magnitude of the politician's home, while others drew comparisons between the Blue Roof and Jacob Zuma's Nkandla.

South Africa's own former president is currently facing the risk of losing his KZN homestead after failing to honour payments to VBS Mutual Bank. Zuma had used Nkandla as security on a multi-million loan from the now-defunct bank.
