We voted u in and u forgot. I am dissappointed in this man. I never voted for the apartheid government. I was not allowed by law. I voted for this man kodwa....hayi uyala lomntu man.

He wanted his day in court. He got it.

Everyone must pay theirs including presidents if the courts made a ruling

But you changed the law so pay

Pay your own cases you have stolen enough and bankrupted the country

Merry christmas guys !!

Akangatshelwa ngeSizulu ngani.. 🤔.. 'paying back the money' means ubusela okuthathile okungasi ekwakho.. He took state's money for his personal use.. now the state asks for its money back..

Entitlement via what-about-ism...🤔 where have I heard that before?

Shem!

You folks need emancipation kkkk

Its differerent . Corruption and fighting to over throw injustice

U must pay baba it's criminal case

Won't be surprised when the other province is going to bring their own back soon b4 they all go to 2019 elections.This ix how they roll.

I stand to be proved wrong on this:The SECRET meeting with the premier league is now being manifest. This twittering was discussed there

Let's connect the dots:Who held press conference after joining social media twitter?This is a fightback by the filthy premier league in SA.

They are above the law.They can do as they wish and cry foul as tjis man is doing

Those who skipped the country and those who fought to bring about democratic dispensatipn are npt equal to the rest of the citizens, hey

Apartheid leaders were doing what the then State instituted. Hence the State had to pay for them. You did what Guptas (your State) asked you. Ask your 'State' to pay for you. Not the RSA State.

Sowing division in the country and party. Always playing victim.This is the results of a secret meeting held earlier with Ace-them in Kzn.

A court in Pakistan has sentenced the country's former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to seven years in jail on a corruption charge

Oh boo hoo.

Just keep quite and take responsibility

Agreed. Criminals get paid for. So Zuma should be paid for too...

🖕

U don't have to pay ...call the friends in Dubai and ur son, these r powerful billionaires with political connections...it can still work out Msholozi u r a survivor n hv beaten far greater odds

True

That thing of refusing to resign and keeping us in suspense was not funny he must pay,

Reason : white. If you are black and do wrong, u will see how ruthless the system deals with you.

So one steals from state, state must provide lawyers to defend one from the state one stole from. So murderers, rapist etc must be provided with lawyers by the victims/plaintiff. This is a scary principle yho🤔

Eish Jacob my bra,you and your ANC and more were so against apartheid that one almost got locked up saying it,now why the double standards cause now you actually saying apartheid is Ngha.cause shit and the state must pay!Eish don't make sence my oupa.

Yes but you sold us to the highest bidder & put this country 20 years backward again !

So now we are saying that two wrongs make a right? Eish

Everyone is entitled to a fair share of South Africa’s wealth but I personally think this man is getting much shares than others

This country has suffered huge economic losses because of you. You must pay.

My heart bleeds custard for you JZ!

So everyone in Africa must not pay. If this is the reasoning. In the world for that matter.

So what are you suggesting? Apartheid disappeared in1994 together with that skewed thinking. You commit a crime, you take responsibility and suffer the consequences.

Apartheid and democracy are two different things Mr President. Everything that the apartheid regime did back then was illegal. To make things easier for you just pay your legal fees and move on.

How do you know when PresJGZuma is guilty? When he counters and plays the racecard as his only defense!!

They were Law abiding citizens, albeit enforcing a cruel law. Zuma and his crownies are pre-meditated Law Breaking criminals!!

YES !!!! You must pay. You have ruined South Africa. The apartheid leaders didn't rape the country like you did. Now we are ALL suffering because of your greed. Luckily the anc have seen through all your covfefe.

Oh please! Now it suits you to compare yourself to apartheid leaders! You should have towered above them a million fold in terms of morality. But you are worse than them. You stole your own people's future

Ag! Shame.

JZ is reflecting the MYANC level of intelligence during exile and MK times considering he was their Head of Intelligence.

You surely cannot be that dumb. As a leader who fought against that sickness, surely you don't want to repeat the lesson which should have been learnt from. Take the 'moral' high ground and do what is right. The sign of a guilty person is always justification of behavior

🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️ how did we get here, a president like this aowa banna...

Because you are a thief of the highest order.

If he had a thread of intelligence, he would just keep quiet; that way we may even be fooled into thinking he's old and therefore wise zuma

Eish! The old man is not only a crook, he's also very thick zuma

Who is advising this guy? like really is there any logic in what you saying? This is not a rape shower, shower HIV test , stop dreaming you making a mockery of yourself, you where elected in the new dispensation apartheid died long ago, is that what you meant frustrating the law

He has the right to do so like every other individual. The law must not be bias in decision making no matter how hated or loved you are

TRC

Cough up you thief!

Mara Msho yours bill it's worse including the Nkandla

Yes indeed! The answer is a simple one,you committed these alleged crimes not under Apartheid but under the post 1996 passing of the Constitution!

There's something wrong with Zuma, what's legal aid for

So Zuma wants exactly what the apartheid leaders got ! By his actions Zuma is then endorsing and agreeing to apartheid policies !! What a wanker.

U wer doing all da mess since ,utsembe kutsi some1 wil pay for u ,come on Mr former thinks can not go lyk dat

Because your case is different

Zuma logic is like that of a father who says that if other criminals can rob his house & rape his wife & daughter, why can't he? As those who have worked with him have concluded, the man can no longer distinguish right from wrong. That is why he asks 'what have I done wrong?'

The more JZ talks the more he exposes how 'empty' he is, reality its a SHAME INDEED!!!

Yeah. That’s how it rolls when u plead innocent but are guilty as shit and waste the state and the people’s time. Should have just plead guilty. Be a man ffs!

So he was repeating apartheid leaders errors on purpose?

I think Mr Zuma should have fought for an independence of the Zulu tribe out of fruit salad called SA. I am sure he would have become one of the paramount chiefs to the king. In that way, no political influence would have disturbed his plans.

That's where his problem was ; he deliberately did wrong things because of Apartheid. Even with Nkandla, he justified it by saying the apartheid government built an airport in EC especially for Botha

He said 'Apartheid KILLERS'

Why did we fight and defeated apartheid if we will sometimes copy it's operations?

Lol THIS guy....

I agree with JZ on this one . Let the Gov pay the defense lawyers. The sooner the process starts the better. Let the trial begin .

2 wrongs don’t make a right

So, he befriended with corrupt people, he proliferated corrupt deals, he encouraged corrupt public servants, he made kleptocracy a national official sport... and he wants public money to pay for his legal representation? Wow! This man has a lot nerve.

I'm glad he understand and can interprete the crime. I agree with him, the apartheid paid for corrupt officials, our democracy won't, can't and will not

It's not the same government showerkop. You are terribly obtuse are you not. Give me an email address and I'll draw you a picture

Damn right you have to pay your own costs. You stole enough money for those costs to be a drop in the ocean. Stop whining and pay up. Apartheid has nothing to do with your choices over the last 10 years

The same State he presided over

You stole state money , you can pay with that , it’s still our money .

I am a real disgrace..

Yup, you (and your friends) have profited enough from the state and the people. If you need money, maybe sell Nkandla...

Yup you do

Apartheid was nearly 30 years ago..2 thirds of RSA have nothing to do with apartheid .. Let's move on and forward South Africa!!

Zuma musn't be desparate for state funds while he has billionaire criminals like Guptas and Mazzotti friend of friends

Gosh,so many people pay their bills wena really think you're the king of RSA

YOU joined ANC to fight and demolish apartheid laws but now you want them back to suit your selfish corrupt self.

So, he wants the state to pay for his corruption charges because he was one of the people that fought for democracy? Seriously 😐

That's unfair for president Zuma to do that while others enjoyed the benefits.

Another shameful attempt at presenting himself as a victim😂😂😂

Yes

So?

Why is this man so selfish and self entitled?🙄

Zuma never stop of contradiction. U fought against apartheid, but is not a licence for u to loot state.

Apartheid leaders were carrying out a state mandate and acting on behalf of government - to deal with who oppose apartheid ! Leading blood-suckers in corruption was never a mandate !

He probably feeling like this👆 Ryt now.

JacobGZuma wanted to match the apartheid oppression and looting but under a constitutional democracy. What happened to 'apartheid was evil and that's why I joined the liberation struggle' 😎

Yes PresJGZuma, you pay ur own legal cost for ur criminality. There is a new dawn, its no longer business as usual CyrilRamaphosa JacksonMthembu_ tito_mboweni GwedeMantashe1 zizikodwa MYANC

He should have thought about that before engaging in corrupt activities.

Which ones? I read through the article. No mention of specifics. Anyone know who exactly he’s talking about?
