Nkandla

The main criticism leveled at the Hawks, is that it lacks the power to initiate investigations, making it ineffective.

The Treasury issued a report to the Constitutional Court on Monday, saying that the president must pay back R7.8-million.

The full text of former president Thabo Mbeki's response to the Constitutional Court judgment.

"It was never my intention not to comply with the remedial action taken against me by the public protector or to disrespect her office," he said.

Speaker Baleka Mbete has agreed to consider calls to establish a committee to determine whether the president has misled the chamber.

The letters were sent to Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi, his predecessor Geoff Doidge, and former police minister Nathi Mthethwa.

Last week President Jacob Zuma said that letters of reprimand were sent to the ministers accused of misconduct with regards to Nkandla.

The finance ministry said a reasonable percentage of the estimated costs that Zuma would pay comes to nearly 88 percent.

The national treasury will tomorrow reveal the amount President Jacob Zuma must pay pack for the non-security upgrades at his Nkandla homestead.

The Constitutional Court’s judgment on Jacob Zuma's Nkandla demonstrates the difficulties facing the continent, argues Bheki Makhubu.

Thabo Mbeki believes the responsibility for SA's failure to achieve its constitutional ideals lies firmly at the feet of its leaders.

KwaZulu-Natal SACP chairperson James Nxumalo has gone against the grain and accepted the president's apology for his role in the Nkandla debacle.
