Nkandla Report
''BRING BACK THE MONEY".


Nkandla is a serious issue especially in parliament, the public wants to know when is the president going to start paying back the money that he used for his estate home called 'Nkandla". of which he still havent' said  anything about when is he going to pay back the money. even though I feel that  there is no necessity for our president to pay back  the money, He has done what anyone one would have done if they had the power to rule. After all he is  a president and deserves to stay in a decent home.There must be a different between the leader and the followers. of which it is visible for our president. Social media has a big influence in our lives because people are able to engage and share opinions about this matter. 

The ANC has claimed that the actual cost of work done to president Jacob Zuma`s nkandla homestead is R71 Million,  and not R208 Million that the minister of public works Thulas Nxesi had revealed during a postcabinent  briefing in November.
on the report that was delivered by Thuli Madonsela it is said that the final cost of nkandla are conservatively estimated to amount to R246 million, but is escalated rapidly after Zuma`s private architect, Minenhle Makhanya was appointed by the department of public works.Jacob Zuma is expected to pay   for the non -security upgrades at his home, which include ; a visitors center, an amphitheater, a swimming pool, a cattle kraal, a chicken run and extensive paving.

It was also said that our late former president Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela built his kraal at his own expense and didn't require a "fire pool".I also feel that it was his choice no one stopped him from using the money therefore people should be real to themselves and stop comparing.
President Jacob Zuma

I'm not saying it is right to utilize the state`s money, but our president did what any other political leader would have done.people are using the money issue to create bad publicity for president Jacob Zuma.

It is also justified by the department saying that it was urgent that private works had already started , for security reasons and that only one supplier could supply the particular service required. still there were delays over which Zuma himself complained in march 2010. The national key points act was "inexplicably dragged in" halfway through the nkandla report building (2010) then its provision were not to apply his mind when he declared nkandla a national key point.

President Jacob Zuma`s say on bringing back the money
Jacob Zuma says no questions on nkandla should be allowed until the parliamentary ad hoc committee set up to discuss the public protector's report has made a finding. He further alludes that if he was a speaker, he would not have allowed the question from EFF on nkandla.
He than agrees that an inter-ministerial committee, the special investigating unit (SLU) and public protector have investigated the R246 million upgrades at his home. He also mansioned that Thuli Madonsela public protector did find that his family unduly benefited.
He concludes by saying the issue of nkandla is being used by parties for political gain.

how does inkandla looks like in reality.


What if you have Ebola?
Ebola is an infectious and generally fatal disease marked by fever and serve internal bleeding, spreading through contact with infected body fluids. The virus is transmitted to people from serious disease which has claimed more than 100 lives. we need to be very careful of this disease because people from other countries can simply come here to South Africa and spread the disease. so no country is 100% safe at the moment.
Social media has the power to influence  hence we normally get quick updates from social networks, it is important to subscribe to two or more social networks in order to get fresh news.Hence Ebola is spreading so fast, it is important for people to engage  and  know what is happening in the world they live in, of which the quickest way to get updated news is through social media hence the other electronic medium takes time to publish  news.

How to prevent Ebola
  • Wash your hands frequently : Use soap and water or use alcohol if soap and water aren't available. It is essential to wash your hands frequently because they get exposed to almost everything.
  • Avoid contact with infected people : Avoid contact with the people`s fluids and body Tissues including blood, vaginal secretion and saliva. "you can get Ebola through kissing".  which is very true, I remember I had something like a ball under my tongue which the doctors could not explain what it is. imagine if it was a serious disease? many people would have been infected because I would have probably gotten it from somewhere and pass it to other people.so kissing is like exchanging bacteria s if it was up to me I would advice people to abstain from kissing.
  • Avoid bush meat : Avoid buying or eating wild animals
  • stay away from dead people hence their body remains contagious
  • Follow infection-control procedures : If you are a health care worker, wear protective clothing  such as gloves ,masks, gowns and eye shields. keep infected people isolated from others.
we are not 100% safe but following this ways can make us prevent Ebola. they normally say "prevention is better than cure". so we need to be on the watch out.
