Just asking: if Zuma says he will pay from his own pocket will it “really” be from his own pocket or will it come from hard working taxpayers again? Surely if he did it the first time, what’s to say the next time won’t be the same. Once a cheater or always a cheater. – Derek Phoenix

Zuma’s pay is from taxpayers but will you blame him for paying with his salary? – Rutendo Katiyo Those to whom Zuma sold the country will in all likelihood settle that bill. He needs to have his day in court apropos of the 783 charges. He’s no leader, but a scoundrel feathering his own nest at the expense of the taxpayer. – Paul Minords Zuma should be impeached. – David Smith

CEO Sleepout

I found this #CEOSleepOut idea to be condescending and in poor taste. Surely these CEOs could make a real difference by paying their low-paid employees better, by increasing their CSI budgets, upskilling their workers and by actually changing their business practices so that they don’t exploit their employees, consumers and the environment whilst they themselves earn millions including stock options and profit share? This whole #CEOSleepOut idea is hypocritical and quite frankly, smacks of privilege and elitism. – Samantha Clark

When are Zuma and Fransman going to sleep out to show empathy with the plight of the homeless? – Alvin Brown

At least the CEOs were doing something to uplift the community. Bringing money in... if it was up to the government we all know where that money will go... in their own pockets. Leave people who are making a difference and rather learn from it. – Zelda Van Aswegen

Others

The righteous man understands the soul of an animal, but the kindness of the wicked is cruelty. What example has been given to these cruel children? Next they will use another child. – Linda Muller, Kenridge

Thank you to all of our wonderful athletes at the Rio Olympics who will be doing their utmost for our beautiful country. Good luck! – Robert Gillespie, Plumstead

Mr Richard Benson, I am sure most of the public believe Oscar should have got 26 years. – Giles Coleshill, Yzerfontein

Charles Michaels – why do you then stay in a black man’s country? – Faried Vallie, Belhar
