Opposition Wants Zuma to Repay Millions Spent on Spy Tapes Saga

President Jacob Zuma spent R15,3 million on legal fees during his nine-year so-called "spy tapes" challenge. Leader of the opposition Democratic Alliance Mmusi Maimane has confirmed that he received a letter from the state attorney's office confirming the amount. Maimane said Zuma was now liable to pay back the money, because the spy tapes case was against him in his personal capacity.
