Nkandla neighbours 'unlawfully relocated'

The relocation of neighbours to upgrade President Jacob Zuma's Nkandla homestead was unlawful, Public Protector Thuli Madonsela has found.

"It is worth noting that the relocation of two households cost R4.2 million, while the relocation of one household cost R3.7m," she says in her report on the matter released on Wednesday.

The relocation and setting up of some of the installations involved unlawful actions and constituted improper conduct and maladministration.

These did not comply with section 237 of the Constitution.
