He’s done it again


South Africa’s favourite polygamist and supporter of post-intercourse showers sparks outrage again:

Just as Jay-Z caused revolts in parliament for refusing to pay back any of the taxpayers’ money that was used to upgrade his personal homestead, CNN released a report showing that Zuma really shouldn’t have to rely on South African taxpayers to finance his expensive lifestyle… 


According to an article comparing salaries of World Leaders, Zuma is the 4th highest paid President in office – while South Africa as a country only ranks 89th in terms of GDP per capita. That makes Zuma the second highest paid leader in office worldwide (only beaten by Canada’s Stephen Harper). 

Even if you keep in mind that this report only refers to official salaries (i.e. excludes living allowances etc.) of World Leaders (i.e. excludes Singapore and other wealthy countries), I would love to hear Zuma explain why he thinks he deserves this – as well as assistance for building a swimming…. aehm, I mean… fire-pool for his residence.
