South African President Jacob Zuma comments on corruption

(5 May 2014) South African President Jacob Zuma said on Monday that he had been unfairly labelled as corrupt because of a scandal surrounding more than 20 million US dollars in state spending on his private home. South Africa's state watchdog agency had released a report concluding that Zuma inappropriately benefited from state funding and should pay back some money for alleged security upgrades at the President's rural Nkandla residence. During his explanation of the expenses, Zuma told journalists that his wife had been raped in his home town of Nkandla. "Two serious incidents that happened at my home. One burning it. Not once but twice, second break in by criminals, raping my wife, they were charged and arrested charged and convicted," he said. The report, Zuma insisted to journalists in Johannesburg, did not conclude that he had abused government funds, despite growing public dissatisfaction over a series of scandals linked to the President. That feeling was most evident when Zuma was booed by some in the crowd at a stadium memorial in December for Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first black President.
