JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The ANC called on Tuesday for South Africa's corruption watchdog to release a partially leaked report into a $21 million (12.7 million pounds) upgrade of President Jacob Zuma's private home, saying delays could dent his image ahead of at 2014 election.

The Mail and Guardian newspaper reported last Friday that an investigation by the watchdog recommended that Zuma should pay some of the costs for the revamp of his rural homestead which included a swimming pool, a football pitch and a cattle enclosure.
