Amanpour on Nkandla

Amanpour asked Ramaphosa about the spending of taxpayer money on Zuma's home in Nkandla.

He responded, saying: "One of the good things about our SA democracy is that we have institutions ... to look at all things that go wrong in government ...

"The Public Protector and the Auditor-General  are now busy with an assessment of this whole thing of money that has been used to improve Nkandla. Now we are waiting for the results of that and I think we should all wait and see what the outcome of all that is."

Asked by Amanpour, 'If money was wrongly spent and some restitution is recommended, would you support that?', Ramaphosa replied:

"Clearly once the institutions come out with a report [either the Protector or AG], it has to be analysed and carefully discussed... We will all be ready to back up the correct decisions that will take our country forward."
