Minister promises swift action on Nkandla probe


 Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi has promised that swift and decisive action will be taken if a probe into the security upgrade at President Zuma's house in Nkandla points to illegal, corrupt or irregular activities.

Nxesi says he will not pre-empt the findings of investigations being conducted by the Auditor General and a public works task team, nor will he act on the basis of speculation.

Zuma's private home at Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal, which has been declared a national key point, has been upgraded at a cost of R248m, of which Zuma will reportedly pay only about R10m.

In a written Parliamentary reply to a question by the Democratic Alliance, the presidency said on Wednesday that the scope of work done by public works was limited to the security measures.
