The Democratic Alliance has called on
Public Protector Thuli Madonsela to investigate alleged abuse of power by
President Jacob Zuma’s nephew Khulubuse Zuma.
DA Chairperson of Federal Executive James
Selfe said recent allegations suggest that in 2009 President Zuma negotiated on
behalf of his nephew to secure a stake in oilfields worth R100 billion in the
Democratic Republic of Congo .
This was in exchange for South Africa ’s security
assistance and expertise in the field of hydroelectric power.
Selfe said if this was correct it would
constitute an abuse of his position as president.
“We regard the matter in a very serious
light and I hope the public protector is going to get to the bottom of this
Selfe added.
