What is the matter with us: Tutu criticises Nkandla


Sapa | 12 December, 2012 07:39 Archbishop Desmond Tutu. File photo Image by: RODGER BOSCH/AFP Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has criticised the expansion of President Jacob Zuma's home in Nklandla, it was reported on Wednesday. "Who in their right minds could have approved the expenditure of more than R200 million? And to do it in that area, where you have this nice place standing up and just around there the squalor and poverty," said Tutu. "What is the matter with us?" The Star newspaper reported that Tutu was speaking at the unveiling of a bench and tree in memory of struggle stalwart Kader Asmal at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens on Saturday. A video of the event was shown to reporters on Tuesday. He told National Planning Minister Trevor Manuel, who attended the event: "You don't belong in this government." Tutu expressed concern about the state of education, the failure to deliver textbooks in Limpopo earlier this year and the recently released results of the National Assessments, which showed that Grade Nine maths pupils scored on average 13%. "Trevor, you tell your boss this old man who said he was retired, I am going to come back. "You tell him that this old man is now going to pray like he prayed for the Nats [the National Party, which enforced apartheid]." Zuma's private residence has recently been upgraded, at a reported cost of R200m. The matter is currently being investigated by a public works task team.

    Now you could have the other woman
    But don't mess with my toot toot

    Well, she was born in a basement
    The doctor slap her behind
    He said, 'You're gonna be special
    A-you gonna be fine'

    A-you can look as much
    But if you much as touch
    You're gonna have yourself a case
    I'm gonna break your face

    So don't mess with my toot toot
    Don't mess with my toot toot
    Now, you could have the other woman
    But don't mess with my toot toot
