South Africa's Jacob Zuma 'sorry' over Nkandla scandal


President Jacob Zuma has apologised to South Africans in an effort to end to a long-running scandal over improper state spending at his private home.
"The matter has caused a lot of frustration and confusion, for which I apologise," he said in a TV address.
He said he would abide by a court ruling that he must repay government money spent on upgrading his rural home with a swimming pool and amphitheatre.
