The Democratic Alliance said that the Department of Public Works has failed to respond to the Promotion of Access to Information Act regarding information to the Auditor General’s audit findings on the construction of President Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla homestead.
According to the PAIA, the failure to respond to PAIA application amounts to rejecting it.
The DA launched an appeal to have the request considered.
DA MP Anchen Dreyer said tax payer’s money that could be used for service delivery is being used for a private residence of the President in Nkandla.
“More than R200 million, that’s wrong; we believe voters needs to know how the money is used that is why we are demanding accountability from the government” Dreyer added.
Dreyer further said that the DA was taking this step on account of the public of South Africa
