Nkandla compound firepool controversy

At South African President Jacob Zuma's Nkandla compound and private residence in South Africa, a swimming pool deemed as having a dual-purpose as a "firepool" was constructed.〔 It was stated that the pool was built as a security feature and security upgrade,〔〔 as a source of water for firefighting. The pool's construction totaled slightly over R 3.9 million〔〔 (around USD $320,838). A controversy surrounded the construction of the firepool, which was a part of several improvements at the Nkandla compound to improve security that totaled around $23 million.〔〔 Official South African documents refer to the pool as a "fire pool", with the rationale that the pool can also serve as a water reservoir for firefighting.〔〔 Press reports have stated that the fire pool resembles a swimming pool.〔 Some media outlets have scrutinized the pool and deemed its construction as controversial,〔 characterizing it, for example, as a part of "questionable 'security renovations'."〔
Part of the public response regarding the fire pool was the posting of "sarcastic tweets" on Twitter about the situation.〔 It has also faced "public condemnation"〔 from some South Africans. In a report titled "Secure in Comfort",〔 Public Protector Thuli Madonsela concluded that Zuma should repay some of the improvements costs, having "benefited unduly" from them.〔 However, Nkosinathi Nhleko, South Africa's Police Minister, stated that Zuma is not liable for any reimbursements.〔
==Cost==
The pool at the Nkandla compound was built for slightly over R 3.9 million. Comparatively, construction of the same-sized pool has been given a sales quote of R 1.3 million for the pool itself, and a quote of R 1.8 million "with all the extras", which was provided from an anonymous pool builder based in Cape Town. The total cost of the pool has been a point of contention among some South Africans and news media outlets.
