President Zuma submits report on security upgrades

02 April 2014

President Jacob Zuma has today, 2 April 2014, submitted a response to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr Max Sisulu, in relation to the report of the Public Protector on the security upgrades at his Nkandla residence (see full text of letter here.)

Noting that three state agencies or institutions, namely the Public Protector, the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster of Cabinet and the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), have all inquired into  the same subject matter, the President has decided that he will give a full and proper consideration to all the matters before him and, upon receipt of the SIU report, will provide Parliament with a further report on the decisive executive interventions that he would consider to be appropriate.

The President remains concerned about the allegations of maladministration and impropriety around procurement in the Nkandla project, in particular the allegations of cost inflation.
