Netherlands 11/25/2012 07:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | UK gives £19million aid to South Africa - its president spends £17.5million on his palace It is a nation racked by poverty, where 13 million people survive on less than £1 a day, and two million have no access to a toilet. Yet as his people struggle in squalor, South African president Jacob Zuma has sparked outrage by spending £17.5 million to upgrade his rural family home. Lavish works – which include the construction of 31 new houses, an underground bunker accessed by lifts and a helipad – will cost almost as much as the £19 million British taxpayers send to South Africa in annual aid.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28329499 It's a payoff to Zuma, of course. All "International Aid" is payola, to the local strongman.  |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28437806 well, criminal actions by those in power is TECHNICALLY treason, eh, especially when foreign govs benefit? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28329499 From the Wikipedia article "Treason in the UK"; "Under the law of the United Kingdom, high treason is the crime of disloyalty to the Crown. Offences constituting high treason include plotting the murder of the sovereign; having sexual intercourse with the sovereign's consort, with the sovereign's eldest unmarried daughter, or with the wife of the heir to the throne; levying war against the sovereign and adhering to the sovereign's enemies, giving them aid or comfort; and attempting to undermine the lawfully established line of succession. Several other crimes have historically been categorised as high treason, including counterfeiting money and being a Catholic priest." [ link to en.wikipedia.org] |
