Nkandla Is Falling Apart – Look At These Pics

Nkandla has been the epicenter of controversy for the past few years and has caused chaos in the National Assembly recently. Guess what? It's about to cause a whole lot more...

This comes as no surprise. I mean, why on earth should a R246 million structure stay intact?

Here we show you the public entrance to Nkandla. Once a R6.2 million “high-security perimeter fence”, it is now a wreck – a place where cows and goats can roam freely onto the green lawns.

“…parts of the fence [are] entirely broken and other sections patched in makeshift fashion with logs and other objects.”

The fence sports security cameras (at a cost of R1.8million) and a “kinematic fence detection system”. The SAPS recommended that such an extravagant fencing system get erected because “the president could be anywhere on site at any time”.

Check out Times Live for more pics of the broken Nkandla.
