As Public Protector, Madonsela investigated complaints regarding public spending on Zuma’s private homestead in the KwaZulu-Natal town of Nkandla. Her final report on security upgrades to Zuma’s homestead titled Secure in Comfort was published on 19 March 2014. Madonsela found that Zuma had benefited unduly from the R246 million the state had spent on the upgrades. Her report has been met with much criticism and opposition from representatives of the ANC ruling party. Shortly before her final report was made public, ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe and cabinet minister Lindiwe Sisulu made public statements undermining Madonsela and her report, with Mantashe calling it a “political report”. After its publication, the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) called for Madonsela’s resignation, and members of the ANCYL and the ANC-aligned Congress of South African Students (COSAS) made disparaging remarks about her. COSAS, which had been admonished by female cabinet minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula for a “sexist” remark, subsequently retracted “a personal address to comrade Madonsela”. ANC chief whip Stone Sizani said “we strongly believe that she has overstepped the mark” by making some “disparaging remarks” with “political overtones”. A group of lawyers from KwaZulu-Natal started a public campaign to discredit her report, and she was accused of having a political agenda by cabinet minister Fikile Mbalula. On 4 July 2014, ANC MPs in the justice portfolio committee objected to Madonsela’s “views that are political in nature” and committee chairperson Mathole Motshekga suggested that the powers of the Public Protector, which are governed by the country’s constitution, be reviewed.
