Nkandla report’s story: Taking from the poor to give to the rich
Funds meant for informal settlement upgrading and urban regeneration diverted to upgrading the President’s home.
On 19 March 2014, Public Protector Thuli Madonsela released her report on the investigation into the upgrades made to President Jacob Zuma’s private residence in Nkandla. The report, titled Secure in Comfort, states that the President “unduly benefitted” from excessive expenditure on his private residence and suggests that the President and his family should personally bear the cost of a reasonable portion of the public expenditure not related to security upgrades at his residence.
