South Africa's President Jacob Zuma on Friday denied having acted dishonestly when using 246 million rand (15 million dollars) in taxpayers' money to upgrade his rural home, but pledged to pay some of it back, according to dpa. Zuma addressed the nation on television one day after the Constitutional Court ruled that his failure to accept a recommendation from the public protector that he repay part of the money was a violation of the constitution. Zuma pledged to obey the court order to pay back a sum which is due to be determined by the National Treasury.
