South Africa graft watchdog to release Zuma report March 19

Johannesburg, South Africa: South Africa's main anti-corruption watchdog said on Thursday it would release its report into a $21 million state-funded security upgrade to President Jacob Zuma's private home on March 19, less than two months before a general election.

The cost of the upgrade to Zuma's rural homestead in Nkandla, in the eastern province of KwaZulu-Natal, has sparked an outcry, with South Africa's biggest union calling for Zuma's resignation.
