Nkandla Judgment: President Zuma to pay back the money

Democracy in Africa, even the president is not above the law says the National constitutional court of South Africa. The court handed it judgement this morning about the Nkandla security upgrade asking the president to pay back part of the money which was used for his security upgrade in his Nkandla residence.

Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng emphasise on the fact that no one is above the law and as a president Jacob Zuma as the first citizen of the country has failed to uphold the constitution of the country and protect the poor using taxi payers money for his personal use and not respecting the ruling of the public protector which is the voice of the people.

The judgement which was unimious saw president guilty as he failed to respect the ruling of the constitutional court findings as he decided to ignore it and left the issue in the hands of the minister of police to do his investigation.

Thuli Modonela found in her report in 2014 that some features included in the R246-million security upgrades to Zuma's Nkandla residence in KwaZulu-Natal were not security features. These included a cattle kraal, chicken run, visitors centre and pool.
I wonder the day president Paul Biya will be held accountable for this actions against the citizens of the country since cameroon is presumably democratic country.
