One of President Jacob Zuma’s wives have reportedly been ordered off the Nkandla property by State Security Minister David Mahlobo, “pending an investigation”
Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma’s attorney has confirmed that she and three of the president’s children were now living in Greytown, outside Pietermaritzburg.
MaNtuli is the second of the president’s four wives.
“My client has not been residing at the Nkandla homestead since January 2015, after having been instructed by Minister of State Security, David Mahlobo, to vacate the Nkandla residence, pending an alleged investigation. She is currently residing, together with her three minor children, in a house in the Greytown area.”
Ntuli Zuma is being accused of planning to kill Zuma by poisoning him during a trip to the US in August 2014.
Russian doctors reportedly confirmed the diagnosis.
MaNtuli was reportedly questioned by the police about allegations that she tried to kill the president. She was reportedly asked to leave the Nkandla homestead in January 2015.
It was also reported that MaNtuli was unhappy that she had been sidelined as a wife after reports that she had cheated on the president.
According to a 2012 report, MaNtuli had to pay a fine to the family, in the form of a goat, after she allegedly had an affair with one of her bodyguards, Phinda Thomo.
Tanzanian businessman Steven Masunga, who claimed to know MaNtuli, told the media in 2014 that he had been paid by MaNtuli to kill Thomo, who died mysteriously in 2009.
