The hashtag #PayBackTheMoney was trending on social media by this point, and the opposition parties came together against Zuma.

The EFF and DA, along with the public protector, Madonsela, brought Zuma to court concerning this matter and called for his impeachment. The top court in South Africa determined that Zuma had breached the Constitution by disregarding the order from the public protector to repay the money to the public. ←118 | 119→It ruled that he must pay back the money spent on any renovations of the mansion that were not done for security purposes (My Africa 2015). The court also chastised parliamentary members for their failure to hold Zuma accountable.

More than a year later in 2019, during South Africa’s state capture inquiries, Zuma insinuated that he was really a victim of the Nkandla situation:

You’ll recall that when I was building my home at Nkandla, problems arose there about corruption, and again you’ll recall that the media in this country mentioned the figure of the money I have squandered, and everything. At that place there were two structures of government that investigated, they found nothing on Zuma, but I’ve been so much vilified in the world and everywhere that I’m the most corrupt person. (Commission of Inquiry 2019, 25)
