IS THIS LOVE OR IS IT BUSINESS?

The South African president Jacob Zuma got married for the sixth time this past weekend in a traditional Zulu culture. the president is a person who follows the polygamous ways of doing thing s in his culture. the ceremony took place in his home town of nkandla where there was over 500 guests that attended the ceremony.

this is just when he celebrated his 70th birthday party. people were being bussed to the venue and even ministers attended the ceremony in support of their president.
living in a country like south Africa where the practice of polygamy is legal makes it easy for the cultures that follow this practice, but only if it is done for the right reasons. the questions is, is this about love or is business? is our tax money going to be spent on maintaining all the first ladies?

the ordinary citizens in the country have been against how  the Swaziland king has been utilising the wealth of his country by splashing it on his wife's. is this how our own president is trying to play it now? what kind of message are we sending to the world out there? this makes it had for the taxpayers because the budget for his spouses doubled when he took to office.

being a president of a whole nation is a huge responsibility and when a person is in office it does not mean that they can use the country's finances in which ever way they want, but in the best way that would suit the country. so what we have to ask ourselves is, are we being blinded when things like these are being done by some who is in power or is it just business to them as it is the king of Swaziland? WHERE ARE WE GOING?
