Lekota gives Zuma's speech one out of ten
President Jacob Zuma hoodwinked the nation during his state-of-the-nation address, Congress of the People leader Mosiuoa Lekota said on Thursday.
"All the things he said had nothing to do with the reality we know, that we are living in this country," Lekota said.
"How can he say we are winning the battle against corruption when he himself has not even appeared before the courts to account for the many allegations made against him and when he didn't even say anything to us about Nkandla?"
The president failed to mention that poor South Africans were up in arms because of the failures of the ANC-led provinces, he said.
"Maybe the people around him misled him into thinking he can hoodwink the whole nation delivering a speech like that. It's a speech that really insults the intelligence of the people of this country."
