Nkandla is not a state home: iLIVE

First, the state already spends millions on state residences for the president in cities around the country. Nkandla is a private residence and should not be funded by the state.

Second, we contribute to the state via our various taxes. It is the government's responsibility to invest the taxes wisely to ensure that the items Ntshangase mentions are provided.
