King Goodwill Zwelithini's palace could cost R1-Billion!
Reports over the weekend have said that Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini is building a new facility near Nongoma.
In South Africa, we have quite an interesting fascination with very expensive buildings, especially when it comes to leadership.
A recent report from the Sunday Times says that a new facility near Nongoma will cost around R1-Billion.
The report states that the King will use the money to improve the reed dance venue and will also replace poor soil in the area with imported soil. The King has already been paid around R550-million by the state over the past decade.

While the Zulu royal house has expressed shock at the bill‚ King Zwelithini is insisting the work will go ahead.
Martin asked you if South Africa should still be responsible for the monarchy and this is what you had to say:
Reports say a palace is being built for King Goodwill Zwelithini that could cost R1-billiom. Should SA still carry the costs of a monarch?
