Former president Jacob Zuma's Nkandla compound is under no threat says his spokesperson, despite social media pictures showing a security fence broken in certain places
Part of the fence surrounding the security precinct outside former president Jacob Zuma's Nkandla homestead is seen broken. The fence has since been patched and Zuma's spokesperson said this part of the precinct was not Zuma's homestead.His spokesperson Vukile Mathabela told TimesLIVE that Zuma’s Nkandla compound was secure and under no threat, despite pictures circulating on social media which showed a security fence broken in places.
The Nkandla municipality initially indicated that it would embark on a “fact finding mission”, but later did an about-turn, saying it was a private residence and that they couldn't enter the compound. Mathabela said: “We can confirm that this is not the former president’s home but other properties outside, which SAPS and public works can be in a position to comment on.
“If that was the former president’s home, it would mean a breach of security. But this is not the case. His home is still secure,” he added.
