South Africa’s highest court has ruled that the country’s president, Jacob Zuma, violated the constitution by failing to repay some of the millions of dollars in government money he used to “upgrade” his private home near Nkandla, his home town in Kwa Zulu Natal.

Zuma said additions like a swimming pool, an amphitheater, a visitors’ center and chicken run were security improvements. A Zuma-commissioned report to justify the questionable upgrades called the new pool a fire-fighting precaution.

It’s a scandal that’s been slowly rolling out since 2012, and South Africa’s best-known political political cartoonist — Zapiro — has been there every step of the way.
