The DA has taken on the upgrades to President Jacob Zuma's Nkandla homestead in an April Fools prank statement on Tuesday.
The party said it was pleased to announce that the Western Cape government would pay for a multi-million rand upgrade to party leader Helen Zille's home in Cape Town.
It says in the statement following the recent trend of public money being used for upgrades to private residences, Zille is excited to see what this upgrade will do to the value of her family home, which is to be renamed 'Amandla'.
The upgrades will include, amongst others, a 'decontamination Jacuzzi'
The DA says the initial upgrade is planned for about R20 million, but according to Western Cape Finance Minister, Alan Windy, everyone knows that these things often run way over budget, so the Provincial Government has set aside R246 million for inevitable cost overruns.
The DA also created a response from the ANC, and quoted spokesperson, "Jack Daniels Mthembu" as saying they built Zuma’s palace in the rural areas where development is needed, while the DA is building their palace in the city.
Jack Daniels added that they would be reporting the matter to the Public Protector for investigation.
