“Fire pool”, a concept that most of us would never have been able to wrap our heads around if it weren’t forJacob Zuma in all his glory. Thanks to creative architects, cunning lawyers and a whackload of taxpayer’s money, we as a nation can truly say that we know exactly what it takes for a pool to be considered a fire prevention tool!

Of course Nkandla isn’t the only place in South Africa sporting splash-worthy facilities, and if you play your cards right you may get to see a few of the finest first-hand. Here are ten of the finest pools dotted around the country, so let’s forget all about that costly presidential lodging and imagine a day spent lounging next to one of these beauts: ( and who knows, you could win your stay for FREE. )
