South Africa Apex Court Orders Zuma repay government five hundred and forty thousand dollars

The money was spent on the controversial renovation of his private home in Nkandla in northern KwaZulu-Natal province.

The Treasury had calculated the amount after getting independent experts to establish how much ZUMA should pay back for building of a swimming pool, visitor centre, amphitheatre, a chicken run and cattle enclosure.

The Constitutional Court accepted the amount, and gave ZUMA forty five days to repay the money.
