 President Jacob Zuma says he is confident that Parliament will effectively deal with the report on security upgrades to his Nkandla home.

Speaking to the public broadcaster on the sidelines of the international conference on the Great Lakes region in Angola, Zuma said on Thursday night that matters were now in the hands of Parliament.

Zuma had undertaken to give National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete a comprehensive report on the outcome of three separate investigations into state spending of some R246 million on his Nkandla home in KwaZulu-Natal.

He submitted his response to the report to her on Thursday.

In the response, Zuma requested ministers in the security cluster and the public works minister, Thulas Nxesi, to report to Parliament on their clearly defined roles and responsibilities when dealing with security when implementing Cabinet policy.
