South Africans react to the thread on Zuma's achievement

While some people were in full support of the thread highlighting Zuma's achievements other Twitter users continued to criticise the former president. Here's what they had to say:

"And still couldn’t get our land back and never helped facilitate one black-owned bank. So after all the 9 years, we’re still struggling for funding… it’s easy to build with state money … so spare us!"

@Smiro_Moola said:

"All those projects had nothing to do who is the president.All those projects were part of the National Development Plan 2030 after RDP. Building of new universities was introduced in 2006 after merging universities. We have 18 SIPs that we need to complete by 2030."

Nine wasted years

The phrase 'nine wasted years' was first coined by President Cyril Ramaphosa back in 2019 as a reference to Zuma's rule. Ramaphosa saw it as the lost years and when investor confidence in the country was destroyed.
