A VIEW OF THE WEEK: Assassination attempt? Just another day in the MK-GB
Zuma slammed for allegedly reporting in person to ‘handlers’ the Guptas
Reports on social media claim the president went to Saxonwold with a 17-car motorcade on Friday night.
President Jacob Zuma.
Reports that President Jacob Zuma and his enormous government motorcade visited the Gupta home in Saxonwold have unleashed a torrent of criticism.
It was reported that Zuma’s 17-car blue-light motorcade shamelessly checked in at the compound in Saxonwold, north Johannesburg, on Friday night.
Journalist Justice Malala has speculated that the visit to the family was to report on how the ANC’s national executive committee meeting had gone.
A 17-car blue light motorcade has just left Saxonwold. It means #JacobZuma has just been to report to the #Guptas on how the #ANCNEC went.

Many concluded that the Gupta family may be upset that Eskom CFO Anoj Singh, who has strong links to them, has been suspended.
Although many users on Twitter were outraged at the news, some asked for proof of the motorcade, and found it suspicious that no photos or videos have allegedly been made available.
In case you were in any doubt as to where the President's priorities lie. https://t.co/P3Sr4gr1nd
