Zuma should step down – youth survey

Johannesburg – More than two-thirds of young South Africans believe President Jacob Zuma should step down in the wake of the Nkandla saga, a Pondering Panda survey has revealed.

“It’s clear that Nkandla is a huge political issue among young South Africans, with more than two-thirds feeling Zuma should step down because of it,” spokesperson Shirley Wakefield said in a statement on Thursday.

The results were drawn from a cellphone survey of 2 114 respondents, aged between 18 and 34, who claimed to be aware of Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s report on the R246m security upgrades at Zuma’s private Nkandla homestead in KwaZulu-Natal.
