JacobZuma has come under fire over reports that he stashed R422m in his home in Nkandla and then took it to Eswatini (formerly Swaziland).
Johannesburg - Former president Jacob Zuma on Tuesday came out guns blazing against reports that he kept $30million from late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. In a scathing statement, the Jacob Zuma Foundation said the former president was consulting his lawyers and would meet the Press Ombudsman over the reports.
“On June4, 2017, the Sunday Times published that the former president has a Dubai home. To date, the newspaper has failed to produce evidence of that non-existent property. “Once again those scoops turned out to be false. It is apparent that the Sunday Times joins an international cabal attempting to put former president Zuma’s life in danger,” the foundation said.
It had been reported earlier in the day that Zuma was considering suing the newspaper for the article published at the weekend.
