Regarding the front-page article "You owe us" (March 20), this is sad for the country. The ANC's decision on this will largely determine the way this country goes in the future - the high road or the low road. - Robert Cooke, by SMS

More than 16million people go to bed hungry every single night. A huge percentage of the population still doesn't have housing. This is unacceptable. - Adam Davison, on Facebook

Looks like the anti-corruption speech to the nation has catapulted back on its first victim, President Jacob Zuma. Is this a precedent to spend millions of taxpayers' money on all future presidents? Thuli Madonsela will be fired, but give her a Bells for her honesty. - Baba Saloojee, by SMS

Cash-wise, President Jacob Zuma is worth eight times more to the taxpayer than Madiba. Eish. - Anon, by SMS

At last we have a public servant with the capability and courage to do the job for which she is paid. The ANC wants to fire her? Sadly it confirms they are completely void of ethical and moral principles. - Dave, Glenvista

What an amazing woman Thuli Madonsela is. What a direct, brave and well- delivered interview on SAFM. This interview should be repeated and heard by all South Africans. May God bless and protect Madonsela. - Jay, by SMS

Public funds for public programmes were diverted to ensure the comfort of Zuma in his private family compound at Nkandla - into perpetuity - and he pleads ignorance to this fact? It's simply not good enough, Mr President. I hope you are ashamed. - CJS, Athlone, by SMS

Advocate Thuli Madonsela is a disciplined cadre of the ANC. Her fearless report on Nkandla is a tribute to the memories of Nelson Mandela, Chris Hani, Ruth First and Oliver Tambo. Thank you, dear lady. You are an inspiration to the people of South Africa. - Mzukisi Gaba, Cape Town

Zuma and Oscar Pistorius are cowards who get other people to take the blame. - C Webber, by SMS

Remember Muldergate in 1978? A newspaper headline screamed "It is all true!". With Nkandla, it's the same thing. That was end of John Vorster, but is this the end of Zuma? - Ip, by SMS
