President Jacob Zuma has undertaken to give the Speaker of the National Assembly a "comprehensive and final report" on the Nkandla controversy within 30 working days.
In a letter to Speaker, Baleka Mbete, Zuma said he was in a position to do so because he had seen the Special Investigating Unit's provisional report on improvements at his private Nkandla homestead in KwaZulu-Natal.
The notification by Zuma was published in Parliament's list of announcements, tablings, and committee reports for Tuesday.
His letter also comes amid unsuccessful attempts by the Democratic Alliance to persuade Mbete to re-establish an ad hoc committee to consider the Nkandla matter.
On Wednesday, the chairperson of the DA's federal executive, James Selfe, welcomed Zuma's announcement, saying the confirmation indicated some long overdue progress in the matter.
The 30 working days fall on July 16th, six days after Parliament is due to adjourn.
