Intro: The Constitutional court has reserved judgment on the EFF and DA's application that President Zuma be ordered to pay back some of the money spent on Nkandla. The court justices questioned whether they should compel Parliament to hold the president accountable to the Public Protector following her findings in the Nkandla report. Zuma has proposed that the auditor general and national treasury arrange a calculation of how much of the R246m spent on non-security upgrades he should pay back.
But public protector Thuli Madonsela said that only she could decide whether to change her conclusions, and until that is done, Zuma had to abide by what she ordered.
To help to unpack this we have on the line:……
• Professor Tinyiko Maluleke, political commentator,
• Phephelaphi Dube, legal advisor at the Centre for Constitutional Rights
• Constitutional and Public law expert, Marinus Wiechers
