Ben Turok has a message for President Jacob Zuma; “Go home to Nkandla and stay there.”

According to IOL that is what Turok said during an interview with eNCA.

Turok lamented the degeneration of his party, the ANC, and the poor appointments made by Zuma.

“His appointments have often been biased and ill-judged,” he said.

He had earlier told Radio 702 that the president should, “consider his position”.

“Jacob Zuma has made the worst possible decision of his entire career as a president by axing Nhlanhla Nene,” Turok told 702’s John Robbie.

"ANC remains the voice of the masses like no other party is. The problem is the voice gets totally distorted at the top by manipulation, by careerists and a president who makes mistake after mistake," Turok said.

He further lambasted David van Rooyen.

"Van Rooyen is the sleepiest member of parliament we have. He never occupied any position of any seriousness - he's been collecting certificates and degrees for 10 years. He has never said anything important and was determined to be on the back benches," Turok said.
