The president has sent letters to Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi, his predecessor Geoff Doidge and former Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa, indicating that he is required to reprimand them for what Public Protector Thuli Madonsela termed the 'appalling manner in which the Nkandla project was handled.'
Zuma was ordered by the Constitutional Court to do what the Public Protector directed him to do more than two years ago when she released a report on the abuse of state funds.
Madonsela found Zuma benefited unduly from the non-security features which formed part of the R246 million project to upgrade his private home in rural Kwa-Zulu Natal.
