Gareth Cliff’s Zuma Rant

By

On Thursday last week, while delivering the final report into the upgrades at the KwaZulu-Natal homestead, Police Minister Nathi Nhleko told reporters in Cape Town that Zuma was not required to pay back any money spent on the upgrades.

Nhleko’s report was contrary to Madonsela’s report released in March 2014, which found that Zuma had to pay back a “reasonable” portion of the money spent on upgrades not related to security.

Nhleko had cleared Zuma of any financial liability for a new cattle and goat kraal, a chicken coop, a cattle culvert, swimming pool, dubbed a “firepool”, visitors’ centre and amphitheatre, saying they were all strategic assets.

“Accordingly, the State President is therefore not liable to pay for any of the security features,” said Nhleko.
