THE Constitutional Court yesterday accepted the National Treasury’s calculation that President Jacob Zuma must repay the State R7.8 million for improvements to his private home at Nkandla.
In a letter to Webber Wentzel attorneys, the registrar of the court wrote: “This court signifies with effect from the date of this letter its approval of the amount of R7 814 155 as at June 2009 set out in the last paragraph of the report by National Treasury submitted to this court on 27 June, 2016.”
At the end of March, the court gave the Treasury 60 days to determine the amount Zuma owed, and gave him 45 days after that to pay it.
This deadline falls on September 29. – African News Agency
