DA to initiate Zuma impeachment

Cape Town – Impeachment proceedings against President Jacob Zuma would be sought without delay, DA Parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko said on Wednesday.

The report by Public Protector Thuli Madonsela on upgrades to President Jacob Zuma’s homestead at Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal contained “damning findings”, she told reporters in Cape Town.

“Given these damning findings, I will submit a formal request to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Max Sisulu, to recall the National Assembly as a matter of urgency to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Zuma.”
