@syantombela commented:
“This is getting irritating now, or you guys just don't wanna use your brains, 1stly this isn't a state house, it belongs to bab Zuma n his family, 2ndly Durban and Inkandla are way apart from each other, 3rdly yekani ubab Zuma alone, he paid wat the state wanted him to pay.
@MacommsKgomo replied:
“The last time I checked is that the property you are referring to is a private homestead of His Excellency, President Gedleyihlekisa Jacob Zuma. Your assertion is not only comical but an insult to the Zuma family.”
