hree EFF MPs advanced towards the public enterprises minister in a ‘threatening manner’
In a united party, when the leader steps down, the deputy steps up to fill his shoes. In a divided ANC though, things are more likely to fall apart.
President Jacob Zuma’s about-turn on Nkandla could affect his loyal supporters, although the ANC isn’t likely to throw them out into the cold.
Jacob Zuma suddenly seemed to abandon the last shreds of his defence during Constitutional Court proceedings this week.
Some believe there were only a few officials responsible for cost overruns at Nkandla. The public protector’s report found differently.
The law clearly states that even essential security measures must be paid for by the owner of the property, even if he has not agreed to the upgrade.
Based on Thuli Madonsela’s report, the DA has calculated that Zuma is liable for at least an amount of R52.9-million for the non-security upgrades.
Stop wondering. President Jacob Zuma’s expected response during his Q&A session today will be nothing short of witty, writes Haji Mohamed Dawjee.
The ruling, which found that the DA was within its rights to say Zuma had stolen taxpayer money, was one that would "liberate fair comment".
A group called ‘concerned lawyers and educationalists for equality before the law’ has written to Parliament, asking for Thuli Madonsela’s removal.

Jacob Zuma shunned his last chance to come clean by responding to the Nkandla report – now it’s up to those who complained to take the next step.
As tension over the Nkandla report continued, the ANC said public protector Thuli Madonsela must take responsibility for the leaking of documents.
In an effort to defend his “non-responses” to the Nkandla report, the president has issued a statement in the form of a song.
President Jacob Zuma’s personal architect is expected to serve notice in the Pietermaritzburg High Court to oppose a R155-million civil claim.
President Jacob Zuma included recommendations that Cabinet review its policy on presidential security and clearly define parameters for spending.
After the previous committee was disbanded, an ad-hoc committee will be established to consider Jacob Zuma’s response to Thuli Madonsela’s report.
President Jacob Zuma says he will give a final report to Parliament about his Nkandla home within the next 30 days.
President Jacob Zuma says he is not concerned that the Nkandla debacle will have an effect on the ANC’s support during this election.
The president says there is nothing abnormal about his security requirements at Nkandla given past experiences, including his wife’s rape.
The hatchets have been buried for now and the ANC is going all out to secure victory.
Judge Vuyelwa Tlhapi has given Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi 28 days to deliver full disclosure on President Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla residence.
Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi has been ordered by the high court to provide the M&G’s amaBhungane with a full set of Nkandla documents.
ANC MPs have quashed attempts by the opposition to get a pronouncement on Thuli Madonsela’s Nkandla report before the parliamentary term ends.
MPs on the ad hoc committee looking into the Nkandla report say they’ve been too busy electioneering and haven’t read the public protector’s report.
Public protector Thuli Madonsela features on the Time 100, Time magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
The public protector is puzzled by the actions of a group of senior lawyers who say they are mounting a legal challenge against her Nkandla report.
The ANC has nominated seven MPs to Parliament for a committee to consider President Jacob Zuma’s submissions on the public protector’s Nkandla report.
ANC chairperson Baleka Mbete says there are no plans to legally challenge public protector Thuli Madonsela’s report on Nkandla.
"Uncle Gweezy" has been asked why SA should vote ANC by students who raised Nkandla, access to electricity and education as concerns with government.
