Adv Thuli Madonsela To Appear On BBC's Hardtalk

South Africa’s Public Protector Thuli Madonsela will be speaking to Zeinab Badawi for HARDtalk on BBC World News this week. As the country’s anti-corruption watchdog, Madonsela claims President Zuma ‘benefitted unduly’ from a $25-million facelift for his private home and wants him to return some of the taxpayers’ money.

The ruling ANC says she’s mistaken and the Parliament dominated by the Party has voted to throw out her findings. Madonsela is sticking to her guns and has been under attack at home whilst being celebrated abroad. So who’s right and who’s wrong? 

This episode of HARDtalk airs on Tuesday, 9 December at 11:30 on BBC World News, channel 400 on DStv. There are repeats at 18:30 and 23:30.
