'You may not like the answer‚ but that's the answer' - #PayBackTheMoney

EFF leader Julius Malema finally got to ask president Jacob Zuma “When are you paying back the money?“.

Zuma replied: “The matter relating to the security upgrades at Nkandla is being discussed by parliament through the ad-hoc committee on the police ministers report. I have also responded to parliament on this matter before. I believe the question is premature as matters have not yet been concluded by this very house. I will respond further to the debate around this matter once all processes have been concluded.”

Malema was unhappy with the answer‚ saying: “The president is not answering my question. The Nkandla has been a big problem for all of us because we all believe you must pay something. The only report which is legitimate and legal is advocate Thuli Madonsela’s report. You have never given a date and a method you are going to use.”

Zuma would not add to his answer‚ leading to a disruption by the EFF and a memorable comment from Speaker Baleka Mbete: “You may not like the answer‚ but it is an answer“.
