President Jacob Zuma is on Friday evening expected to address the nation after the Constitutional Court ruling over upgrades at his Nkandla homestead.<\/p>\n
The Presidency issued an alert stating that the president was to address the nation at 19:00 – this was slightly delayed however.<\/p>\n
The ANC was also expected to hold a press briefing at 20:00.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the Constitutional Court had ruled that the president should adhere to the remedial actions of the public protector and pay back tax payers funds which were used for non-security upgrades worth millions at his Nkandla home.<\/p>\n
The court further ruled that Zuma and the National Assembly had violated the Constitution by ignoring the public protector’s report.<\/p>\n
Since the ruling, opposition parties have called for Zuma to step down.<\/p>\n
