South Africa: Answers Needed On Mansions for Ministers

press release

Government's refusal to answer questions on the massive public expenditure on President Jacob Zuma's private home in Nkandla has raised a red flag with regard to all expenditure on luxury housing for South African ministers.

Information provided to the Select Committee on Public Service indicates that more than R1.4 billion has been allocated to upgrades and building projects in and around four housing developments for Ministers, the Deputy President and the President (Bryntirion, Fernwood, Malhamba Ndlopfu and Groote Schuur).
