In response, the public took to social media in no uncertain terms last night with pictures of Zuma’s home being posted on Facebook and Twitter.
The accompanying comments and captions have been equally challenging, mostly along the lines of “Look, I’m breaking the law”.
At least six daily newspapers also published photographs this morning of Zuma’s vast homestead in the hills of the Nkandla district.
In another unrelated act of defiance, The Daily Sun published a photograph this morning of the body of a man killed in a mob justice incident in Cape Town.
It followed yesterday’s ruling by Press Ombudsman Johan Retief that the Daily Sun must publish a front page apology for the publication of two graphic photographs of corpses in separate issues of the paper in late October and early November.
The newspaper said it planned to appeal the ruling.
