Democratic Alliance (DA) Parliamentary Leader Lindiwe Mazibuko told the press yesterday that her party would move to have President Jacob Zuma impeached and removed from office if it could be proven that he deliberately obscured the truth about the Nkandla security upgrades when the construction of his lavish compound was brought up in Parliament

Nkandla is symbolic of how the people’s hope and faith and optimism has been variously abused, misused and ultimately destroyed. It is the tipping-point in the abusive relationship, argues Kameel Premhid.

The State has requested a delay of unspecified duration in order to examine whether Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s report on President Zuma’s homestead at Nkandla would jeopardise national security. However, Madonsela has dismissed the security concerns as part of a systematic delay strategy by ministers

Several government ministers have applied to interdict the Public Protector in a bid to secure more time to examine her Nkandla report before it is released to the public

Zuma’s surprise decision to send the “unconstitutional” secrecy bill back to parliament has been celebrated by campaigners, but is there an ulterior motive?

If the South African public and the diaspora have emphasised Reeva Steenkamp’s life as uniquely tragic, the ubiquity of the violence against women in this country was not lost on Steenkamp herself. She saw herself, prior to being personally victimised, as already deeply implicated in the common fate that awaits 1,095 South African women this year.

State Minister claims it was Public Works Minister who made Nkandla report “top secret,” after Public Works Minister said it was vice versa.

Not even even Auditor General Terence Nombembe and Public Protector Thuli Madonsela will be able to see the long-awaited report on Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla upgrade.
