EFF: We want Zuma to share a cell with Oscar Pistorius

EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi says Zuma needs to go to jail to account for the money spent on Nkandla. 

Ndlozi was responding to the Constitutional Court's decision to approve the R7.8 million determined by Treasury to be paid back by the president for non-security upgrades at his Nkandla homestead. 

"We want to take him to prison for stealing the people's money. He must go share a cell with Oscar Pistorius. When we say he must go to prison we do not mean Robben Island, we mean either Sun City or Kgosi Mampuru prison," he says. 

Ndlozi says the EFF has always maintained the amount determined by Treasury is too little.

"The Constitutional Court has agreed to approve it. What matters to us is that we have delivered on the promise we made to the South African people when we said we will make Zuma pay back the money," Ndlozi says. 

Ndlozi says the next step for the EFF is to remove Zuma as president for violating the Constitution.
