Who is fooling who? Firstly, the ANC, through its government, frustrated the prompt release of the Nkandla Report through the abuse of court process; Secondly, the report was leaked by persons unknown putting the pressure on Madonsela and her credibility (only her enemies benefitted from such); Thirdly, all the ANC aligned structures organised press conferences and media releases to attacked her for the leak; and finally the ANC general secretary holds his own press conference in line his surrogate structures to put more pressure and demand the immediate release of the report - clearly, with or without the security concerns. He then asks irrelevant questions because President Zuma, before parliament, took ownership of the upgrades. The ANC SG asks: Whether Zuma himself requested the security upgrades, and whether he asked for a swimming pool, the moving of a tuck shop, and bulletproof windows. If not, who made these decisions and who is accountable for these decisions? Was it the ANC president or somebody else? Who is fooling who? ANC wants Nkandla report released 2013-12-03 14:25 Johannesburg - The ANC has called for Public Protector Thuli Madonselas final report into the security upgrades at President Jacob Zumas Nkandla homestead to be released to the public with immediate effect. ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe told a media briefing at the ANCs Luthuli House headquarters on Tuesday that the ANC was worried about the leakage of extracts of the provisional report, and this created a dangerous trend, as the debate was not based on the final report. Mantashe said the ANC wanted clarity on certain matters from Madonselas office. This included questions about whether Zuma himself requested the security upgrades, and whether he asked for a swimming pool, the moving of a tuck shop, and bulletproof windows. If not, who made these decisions and who is accountable for these decisions? Was it the ANC president or somebody else? Mantashe asked. For this reason, the ANC wanted the final report released, and not leaked snippets, he said.
