South Africa's top
corruption fighter has said President Jacob Zuma has "benefited unduly"
from using state money to improve his rural residence.
The changes to Mr Zuma's private home, including a pool and cattle enclosure, cost taxpayers about $23m (£13.8m).In a more than 400-page report, Public Protector Thuli Madonsela accused Mr Zuma of unethical conduct.
She said that Mr Zuma, who faces re-election in May, should repay costs for some of the unnecessary renovations.
The refurbishment of the
residence in Nkandla, in Mr Zuma's home province of KwaZulu-Natal, has
turned into a major political controversy in South Africa.
