Nkandla the movie??Absolute Disgrace :(

At an exclusive press conference held today in Craighall, Johannesburg, e.tv has announced what is to become Africa’s most watched television show.

Set at the backdrop of the controversial Nkandla village, Zuma’s Housewives will be a reality series profiling the pleasures and pressures four women encounter as wives of a South African president.

Addressing a handful of journalists, Monde Twala, e.tv’s channel head, expressed his excitement on this landmark project.

“Today marks the birth of a groundbreaking show in the entire history of television… Never, since the existence of mankind, have we seen a reality show capturing the private life of a president and his family… We are overly proud that this is happening within our shores, more so on e.tv,” said the beaming Twala.

According to e.tv, commissioning Zuma’s Housewives was a crucial move in addressing challenges faced by women in polygamous marriages. The show seeks to do so by highlighting how these four women respond to social, political, traditional, religious and family pressures.

Said Shaka Sisulu, creator and series producer: “The series will profile the often voiceless and politically inactive women criss-crossing the president’s bedroom. We will cover pressing issues such as how a man with many wives get to choose which one occupies his main bedroom for the night, or whether they all jump in on the same bed…”

Similar to international formats, the show will also focus on conspicuous spending. Adding to the dramatics, footage of the housewives’ jealous rivalry and jaw-dropping cat-fights will remain unedited, reassuring Bonang Matheba and Kelly Khumalo that they are not the only straat mates alive. Viewers at home will be left aghast as MaNtuli throws tantrums at interior designers upgrading her matrimonial home.

“….Most importantly, the show’s secondary objective is to vindicate and consequently put to rest perpetual conspiracies surrounding the president. Never-seen-before footage will highlight how the president and his family actually spends tax payers’ money. This will include an exclusive tour inside Nkandla homestead,” added Sisulu, also known as ‘Lipgloss’ to many.

Although e.tv was coy on revealing more details, is it said that the show will go on air just before the national elections.

The curious part of this post is the addition of the word 'Disgrace'. I am not sure why it was added as the writer ( Titch ) makes no further comment other than to paste the source article.

This article has subsequently been refuted so its probably pointless to pursue but I still remain curious as to why Titch would have regarded the proposal as a 'Disgrace'.

Garrick i would have thought that the use of the word Disgrace would be self explanatory????????????:S
The fact that the whole Nkandla saga has been well documented as a blatant abuse of public funds and quite frankly sickens me but then to propose an actuality show that would further generate cash for the tenants of this "place" (for lack of a better word) would not only be rubbing salt into wounds but would indeed be a DISGRACE!!! I was unaware that it was a hoax when I started the thread and aired my disdain but as the ETV spokesperson (who obviously shares my views) has subsequently put it "This article undermines e.tv's integrity" ...I trust this satisfies your curiosity...if not then tough.

Dear Titch,

Thank you for answering my question. It was simply that - a question.

For some reason which escapes me it seems to have half wound you up. Maybe you are just mildly embarrassed that you fell for a hoax and decided to vent your spleen on me?

I prefer it when you play your normal role of Spin-Doctor-In-Chief for racing. Lol.

Dear Garrick,
Not wound up at all,sorry you misinterpreted my answer,it was simply that - an answer.

Falling for a hoax will surely not cause me any embarrassment? even a mild dose as it happens to me and many others on a regular basis, hope this clears that one up and you can return unoffended to your normal role of Spin-Doctor-In-Chief for the righteous Lol
