The Democratic Alliance has called the Special Investigating Unit’s provisional report on Nkandla a complete whitewash. 

DA Chairperson of the Federal Executive James Selfe said they will not rest until all those who have acted unlawfully, including President Jacob Zuma are held accountable for this gross abuse of public money. 

Selfe added that the SIU report has now been apparently completed and   what it seems to do is to shift the blame to junior staff of the Department of Public Works.  They do not regard that as a being a satisfactory explanation.  

“We are determined that a new ad- hoc committee should be established by the National Assembly to properly interrogate who it was that took a political decision to spend R246 million on so called security upgrades for the  President’s private residence” concluded Selfe
