South Africa
Dec. 18, 2012
President Zuma in Dec. 2012 won the election in a landslide against his opponite Kaglema Motlante, who was his former deputy. With this victory of 75% people say thathe is a sure win for the election of 2015 and will continue another term as president, but is that really going to be the case? $27 million of government money was used not on the promised schools or other institutes that are in need, but to Mr. Zuma's home upgrades. "Secruity meausures" are what the president and his team are saying that the improvements to his house have been. Tennis courts and a soccer field are sure to provide plenty of safety, but what about the people who are displaying an early discontent of the pres and his home? This isn't the only issue, other government officles have been caught and are on trial for money laundering, this has been causing a lot of distrust amongst the people.
The government makes its money through the people through support and taxes and other things and for that money to used in such selfish fashion is pretty messed up. There are many jobless in South Africa and are in need of government assistance, school systems are failing to improve for nonwhites as the government promised they would improve. This will cause serious problems for the president and the country if things do not improve in the workings of the government.
Mr. Malema , formersupporter of the president, after several charges of oney laundering has since become a critic to the worings of the president. What's to say the rest of the people in South Africa don't follow suit and start to challenge the new president. It's understandable to believe that this money situation would bring about tension and problems,thsi could affect how things get done in the government and Mr. Zuma's lasting influence based onhis actions of late.
