PRETORIA (Reuters) - President Jacob Zuma benefitted "unduly" from a $23 million (14 million pounds) state-funded security upgrade to his home that included a cattle enclosure and amphitheatre, South Africa's graft watchdog said on Wednesday in a damning report six weeks before an election.
Public Protector Thuli Madonsela accused Zuma of conduct "inconsistent with his office" and said he should pay for some of the unnecessary renovations, which also included a chicken run and a swimming pool justified as fire-fighting equipment.
