Police minister Nathi Nhleko has committed “his office and the police ministry to pathological lies and the defence of corruption”‚ the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) said on Monday. A statement by party spokesperson Mbuyiseni Quintin Ndlozi listed Nhleko’s alleged lies:“A so-called ‘firepool’ was also constructed at private residence of the former President Nelson Mandela in Qunu. The Mandela granddaughters have dismissed Nhleko’s utterances as pure lies.”“The minister has lied about cattle kraals and chicken runs being ‘security features’.”“He has lied about the total cost of security features in Nkandla being less than they actually are.”“He has lied about not knowing why and who approved the construction of the village consisting of 21 three-bedroomed houses at the Nkandla compound at an over-inflated cost of R6.5-million each.”“He has lied about the public protector not finding that government built any houses for (President Jacob) Zuma and his family.”Ndlozi singled out the last one as “absurd” and said Nhleko had used a “recent report and low-quality bioscope” to exonerate Zuma from any “financial liability for non-security features in Nkandla”.This‚ Ndlozi said‚ “was not in compliance or intended to comply with the remedial action of the public protector”‚ and “Thuli Madonsela‚ in her report ‘Secure in Comfort’ requested the minister of police to ensure that no further security measures are installed in Nkandla”.Yet‚ “Nhleko has arrogantly reported that ‘more money’ still needs to be spent in Nkandla on imaginary security features”‚ said Ndlozi.He also dismissed remarks reportedly made by African National Congress secretary-general Gwede Mantashe that “the Nkandla issue will disappear with the end of Zuma’s term of office” as “delusional”.“The EFF wishes to reiterate that Zuma will PAY BACK THE MONEY!” Ndlozi’s statement said.“Wherever Zuma appears in the presence of the EFF‚ be it in public places or in Parliament‚ he shall be asked to PAY BACK THE MONEY. This commitment to holding Zuma and his executive accountable is consistent with the EFF commitment to combating corruption.”..
