This is money laundering.
Our people are still very poor
The train crash today is estimated to cost R21 million. How can 2 statues cost the same as a train accident?
I don't know why the Anc keep on imposing this sellouts on us 🤔
Fuck me.
Its a kak..
Apparently these statues are not life size but 20m tall and the wood is imported from Amazon forests and it is expensive
Waste. Waste. And waste of taxpayers money. Mr Mandela would not have allowed this move.
What a waist of money goshh
Why illustrate it with these awful misrepresentations of leaders?
If it is true that our politicsl leaders care about the poor and unemployment let this be used for poor people's basic needs
Where is Thabo Mbeki's statue?
These statues are close to the road, if there's a car accident will ANC giv anutha 20M tender to replace/fix
The service provider will pocket R50k and the rest its for Anc celebration and elections.
And a recording contract for Zuma
Where is Kgalema Motlanthe’s statue?
africaupdates Sikhona kodwa isidingo
R20M 👀👀👀😱 Aowa hle
What a waste of money. Smh! 💔
We will print MORE money 🎃🎃
what could have been done with that miney😭
I think we have enough statues hey. Like.....ho lekane hleng
Bloody fools
20 million must have been split amongst themselves. Corruption will never end. Rampohsa has his clan in power to deep the benefits.
Once again ANCParliament waste money. How many houses or bursaries could have been paid for with that money? notservingthepeople Corruption_Kings
I am sure that 20million can build a school somewhere in the rural parts of SA..but no MYANC government wants more statues...for what?
What a waste!
Now white media try to ruin the reputation of eThekwini to gain vote at KZN
Total waste of resources. Is this the so called new dawn
Image how many house they could build for people or send the youth to tertiary education with 20mil!! Shame on you We love Mandela he was for education not gratification his legacy will live on statue or no statue
Mediocre at work
And yet they increase vat, they increase petrol, they increase the price of basic food. Mxm
These people only care about their image
WHILE THE NATION IS POOR.... THEY BUSY SPENDING OUR MONEY ON USELESS THINGS... WHAT A GOVERNMENT HEYYY😒
Isn't this the same department that is sponsoring Zuma?
Yekani Amanga
And? eNCA how's your Black people ratio to White in the major job positions
Another way of looting, whoever got the tender will share the loot with the officials
What a muppet!! Justifying the price for the statues because of apartheid.
This is so unfortunate!
And our kids education obviously wouldn’t benefit from R20m right? Nope let’s get us some statues 🤷🏼♀️
When you have a national department ArtsCultureSA with identity crises. When department is not positioning itself as strategic partner to eradicating poverty, devolopment of skills set & commercializing New entrants Including driving township schools towards art subjects.
This ethekwini has to much money to play with!!!!!! First Zuma songs now this!!!!!!!!!!
This is literally a tin pot dictatorship.
We could've colonized the moon by now if it weren't for the ANC.
Overseas they use wax. But NotInMzanzi we make replicas out of solid gold.
that's job creation hahahahah Mzansi
Artii_M What are we going to do with that stuff? Load shedding, no water in giyane, pupils can't afford varsity fees just to mention a few, and u tell me to thuma Mina come on not anymore
CyrilRamaphosa What the hell is this
Splash on infrastructure for the most vulnerable first.
Heeee baaan where’s Thabo Mbeki?🤔ANC107
Very expensive statue's. I wonder who got the tender?
Thanks 🙏 we need more statues 💪Why would the elite ANC cadres worry about the lack of basics for millions of poor in this country ,no toilets , no drinking water ,no food n n n . Sad what legacy is left behind for the those that fought for freedom 🥊
I hope these are not the templates coz these look like they were made by Rasta!!
Such corruption is now getting boring. Half of that money went to some politicians pockets.
GovAsleep people need housing, jobs,food,schools....Are we failing to see these things...why can we not put a hault on all spending that does not involve uplifting, improvement..coooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmeeeeeee oooooooooooooon
Ah! This is the ANC that I know
Elections cost money...
Why😠😠😠
Is service delivery in perfect working order, sewerage, water, electricity, schools etc?
An very unfortunate choice of artist. His completed works are not at all attractive. Compare these lightweight works, to the gravitas of the Oliver Thambo sculpture at OR Thambo Arrivals. Both black artists - totally different leagues.
All rate payers can give yourself a 20 % discount on your rates and taxes you municipality is way over payed by you. Statues and Zuma 's music album is not why you pay rates for
This is really becoming embarrassing. Completely ridiculous and unnecessary. I don't understand. Money could have been invested somewhere else. Our ANC run government is getting too comfortable.
But this Ramaphosa statue is totally different from him, this is Morgan Tsangarai
How can you justify this MYANC?
According to you, Apartheid hero's statues were built for free, interesting.
This is the waste of money.. These people are not gods.. They were men like us. Please let them rest in peace.. Did they leave a message behind of erecting their imagery
Dear me, put the money to help service delivery and health, housing, get the country right first, then statues, seriously.
What a spectacular way to mock OR & Nelson!!
maggsnaidu I assume that these statues are made of gold, platinum and the eyes are of made of precious stones. !
Marita_1010 How much of the fee went to the ANC party coffers?
I don't know if it's only me who thinks that eThekwiniM is not going to retain their 'Unqualified' audit status in the 2018/2019 Financial year. Good job wasting our money eThekwiniM and MYANC🙄😒
Maybe its a good thing those statues are there. It will be a reminder who has been looting, plundering & maladministrating SA for the past 25 years
LizahnDe Don’t waste your money (and kickbacks)
pietmeis1234 And where are the RDPHouses
Anc played a huge role in fighting for us during Apartheid...We thank them for that and we appreciate it so much but it’s about time they’re removed from power!!! THESE CRUEL POLITICIANS DONT CARE ABOUT THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTY
We have perfect clinics/hospitals and schools everywhere in South Africa
Is it necessary though...?
Dr Mkhize put a stop to this asap
Nothing surprising here for a people who think history should be made compulsory at school m not shook, this is Pan-Africanism waste money on unnecessary ish, when it backfires they'll blame apartheid and the west 👏👏
That is how ANC government wastes money,when will they splash money on improving SAns lives? The statue it's useless no matter for who it is
1 million on statues and 19 million on JZ783 legal fees. But the kids are using pit toilets.
The problem is that we giving this ANC too much credit for our liberation considering they we not even around to fight for it when they were either in Jail, so-called military camps or the cowards on self-imposed exile.
statues still no this can't real we're swimming in poverty here...
Is that one supposed to be Zuma? Cos it looks like Jeff Radebe? 🤔
Wat the hack are we gonna do with same statues of a same person...
Building statues, changing street names, airports, bridges n town name's yes they should be done but at least after we were showed the way to freedom uproot poverty, decent houses 4 all,built schools, clinics, hospitals, free education n give us our land Amandla
This is the ANC we all know......it's not a suprise soon we will c Ramaphosa statue.....n also gonna cost millions.
we cnt eat statues
Where is our leaders priorities. R 20 mil for statues and how much was the bribes. How many houses could not have been build or free education for poor kids, they must now stop with this bills&the
That is another reason NOT TO VOTE ANC. Under this corrupt gov we will all stay poor !!!
How many new shit buckets can you buy with R20m?(Because South Africans don't want plumbing or real toilets at all....)
realDonaldTrump said we are a sh*thole country. I don't think he was telling a lie.
While ppl suffer?
leona_kleynhans Why would they do this when unemployment and poverty is so high in our province?!
this is really sad....How on earth do you even begin the justify this expenditure?
There's something seriously wrong in this municipality. If memory serves me right this is the same municipality that is funding the zuma music project. I wonder what is its service delivery outlook/record
Finally the Black Presidents will always be remembered
Can the poor eat statues? Will it keep them warm at night? Will it provide healthcare, education or jobs? No ! This should not have been allowed .
Same cost as 20 top range Mercedes. Hard to justify the value?
ANC has made a fool out of the citizens of this country and it's not even funny.
Waste
But I don't even get orange bags 🤣
What can I say...........please vote for the MYANC again and blame whites!!!!!!!
I've never thought the word 'splashes' could ever sound so painful😅
90% of yall voted ANC into power. Why you acting all shook? And you're gonna do it again.
And how much did the apartheid government spend on all those statues scattered all over south africa?, they will never tell you, but when its black leaders who have contributed in our struggly and people who carry our identity the price is always too much and its a waste..Wake up
People can never eat history, history cannot house the homeless...our politicians are a shame and I doubt they possess minds.
I suspect, the next statue is going to be of Zuma and will probably cost three times to the current ones.
Are we saying 5mil per statue - A disgrace
I see Dj Fresh there..
Are we going to ignore the fact that statues are capturing us.first it was the mpumalanga government that spent 15million in Mandela statue now this. What kind of fuckery and msuuunary is this. Enough with this stupid statues.The anc must be removed
remove it all
Yebo yessss. The Looting Continua ! No money for school toilets, or feeding schemes or even to fix potholes. But hey, when the cANCer needs statues they get statues. How much did that 'hero's acre' in Tshwane cost ?
I saw these statues last week on M4 ngase hyper by the sea. Mbeki doesnt even look like Mbeki. AnC is cancer, what a waste of money.
They must give it to Rasta
20mil for statues really🙄that money could build people houses🙄AND WHERE DOES THIS MONEY COME FROM
We really don't have our priorities straight ... Mxm!!!
Waste of money klaar
maggsnaidu What in God’s name is the matter with these people. Children need decent schools and bloody toilets and they put up statues. The poor need homes and food. Wake up to the needs of your people you fools!
Heban😳😳😳😳 20 mitre ( million) for 2 Statues And is that Jacob Zuma's big head I see there
Africanacity at it's best
That's the only plan to make Zuma since no one can allow it to erect Zuma alone thats why they made 4 statues but where is Thabo Mbeki this is a waste of our money we're cying out hard about being unemployed bt ur bzy eating money with useless things
That Mbeki statue must be reconstructed. It’s a travesty
Sir_halla I can't understand how people keep voting of these awful selfish ANC.
Comrades have to gather the war chest.
Whts the use of statues? 🤔🙄
Those Statues better talk when we visits them🤔🤔🤔🤔who spends 20mil for statues when pple in ur city goes to bed hungry? the priorities of this government neeh.
How is it possible that two statues cost 20mil, hai something is wrong here
Liberation Movement!!!
