Public criticises the amount being spent on President's inauguration - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

in Pretoria. Last week, Minister in the Presidency Dr Nkosazana Dlamini- Zuma announced that it will cost around R120 million, which is R100-million less than the inauguration of former president Jacob Zuma in 2014. It’s the first time the inauguration won’t be held at the Union Buildings.

“It’s very ridiculous to spend so much money on just a one day event. I mean they could have used the Union Buildings whereby they didn’t have to pay a cent for it and rather use the money for us to fix things,” says a member of the public “That’s a lot of money because where I’m coming from we are lacking roads, last time they tried to fix the road, and they made it worse, this money is too much,” says another.

“I think for them spending that money for five hours on Loftus Versverld, its waste of time and money.”

The public is not welcomed unless u ask for permission to enter the stadium days before the ceremony

With the state of the Nation at this time. Theres no cause fir celebration with all the service delivery protests, corruption cases and farm murders the money would be well spent on healing some more urgent matters. They all desreve a swearing at not in.

Hundreds of millions on a fancy dress party for a country with as many problems as ours is not a good investment!

When the R100m party has ended, real work of service delivery must start.
