The public protector’s office says the action of a group of lawyers calling for her removal "amounts to interference with her independence".
The Public Members Unit Team has offered to pay back money that was unduly spent from the state’s coffers in upgrading President Zuma’s Nkandla home.
A group called ‘concerned lawyers and educationalists for equality before the law’ has written to Parliament, asking for Thuli Madonsela’s removal.
What the bullying ANC doesn’t get is that our democracy is almost more than just numbers.
Julius Malema and other EFF MPs walked out of a disciplinary hearing about the "pay back the money" debacle, saying it was contaminated by the ANC.
The PSA has not ruled out the possibility of President Jacob Zuma being called to testify during the public works departmental hearings.
Opposition parties, who withdrew from what they said was an ‘ANC study group" ad hoc committee on Nkandla, will table their own report.
The ANC has said it would be out of order for Jacob Zuma to repay any money for non-security upgrades at Nkandla he did not request or consent to.
ANC MPs have said President Jacob Zuma is not financially responsible for overspending on the R246-million security upgrades at his Nkandla homestead.
Opposition parties say they will not be part of a process that shields President Jacob Zuma from liability for abuse of state funds.
Opposition parties say Jacob Zuma should be charged over misspent funds used on Nkandla. But the ANC argues that he was not liable for any wrongdoing.
The presidency will not comment on a report saying that Zuma will only respond to the SIU on Nkandla if served with a legal warning.
The Special Investigating Unit report on Nkandla recommends that the police evaluate its security situation — and soon.
In its final report, the SIU has noted several government officials name-dropped Zuma in an effort to have parts of the Nkandla project approved.
The unit has filed replies to Minenhle Makhanya’s requests for documents relevant to its claim against him, which relates to work done at Nkandla.
A deputy minister has accused public protector Thuli Madonsela of being a spy for the CIA, and said that "we can’t allow people to hijack the ANC".
Minenhle Makhanya’s lawyer has threatened to have the case against the architect struck off the roll, unless the SIU releases all requested documents.
Minenhle Makhanya faces tough obstacles because he signed a non-disclosure agreement, which makes it a criminal offence to reveal project details.
An investigating committee has been set up to consider whether there are grounds to discipline President Jacob Zuma’s controversial Nkandla architect.
Rising at the chance to showcase his own martial art skills, the president confirms his attendance at the Karate World Cup. The nation is thrilled.

The ANC has reluctantly agreed to halt the Nkandla ad hoc committee until its mandate is clarified and includes the public protector’s report.
While attempting to protect Jacob Zuma, the ANC seems to have forgotten the rationale behind the establishment of the office of the public protector.
The public protector says she will request a meeting with Jacob Zuma "on the way forward", following the "hysteria"” surrounding the Nkandla matter.
Julius Malema has said his party will apply for an urgent interdict to stop the suspension of EFF MPs over recent disruptions in Parliament.
The Public Protector says her approach is to whisper truth to power – but you don’t want to mess with her.
Whatever his shortcomings and challenges like Nkandla and the EFF, President Jacob Zuma can rely on his secure position in the ANC to see him through.
Following the leaking of a letter relating to Nkandla, the ANC has blamed Thuli Madonsela for many things. But she could use a weapon in response.
While criticising Thuli Madonsela, Jesse Duarte says leaks relating to Nkandla from the public protector’s office seem to be calculated.
Many of President Zuma’s allies make up the ad hoc committee which will interrogate public protector Thuli Madonsela’s report on Nkandla upgrades.
If President Jacob Zuma does not blink on the Nkandla scandal, he could find it heading down a very, very uncomfortable legal path.
Thuli Madonsela is concerned following Jacob Zuma indicating that the police head needs to determine if any money spent at Nkandla should be returned.
