Nkandla ruling: Treasury given 60-day deadline
Updated | By Khatija Nxedlana
National Treasury has been given 60 days to report back to the Constitutional Court on the amount to be paid back by President Jacob Zuma on the non-security features at his private home in Nkandla.
Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng this morning delivered findings that Zuma violated his constitutional duties by not implementing the recommendations of Madonsela's 2014 report - Secure in Comfort.
Zuma will then have 45 days after that in which to pay back the money.
Mogoeng also ordered that the President reprimand the Ministers involved.
He further set aside the resolution passed by the National Assembly which absolved Zuma of compliance with the Public Protector's recommended remedial action.
