Presidency disappointed by release of confidential information

03 February 2016

The Presidency is disappointed that Western Cape Premier Ms Helen Zille has once again released confidential information to the public.

President Jacob Zuma recently convened a consultative meeting with all Premiers ahead of his State of the Nation Address (SONA) and Budget Speech by the Minister of Finance.

The confidential contents of the consultation have been released to the public by Ms Zille without authorisation. Previously, Ms Zille also released to the public confidential information from a meeting that President Zuma had convened between Premiers and the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) ahead of the 2014 National General Elections.
