Zuma humbled himself - ANC
Johannesburg - The ANC welcomes and appreciates President Jacob Zuma's apology to the nation on Friday following the Constitutional Court judgment regarding spending at his Nkandla home.
"The president humbled himself and apologised to the nation," ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe told reporters in Johannesburg.
"The president has assured the ANC he will adhere to the judgment and implement all 11 orders."
Zuma addressed the nation on SABC, where he apologised and said he had not "knowingly or deliberately" violated the Constitution.
On Thursday, the Constitutional Court ruled that the president should adhere to the remedial actions of the Public Protector and pay back taxpayers' money which was used for non-security upgrades worth millions at his Nkandla home.
