A petition has been started to impeach President Jacob Zuma over his involvement in the Nkandla scandal.
The petition was put up on website Change.org. It was created by the Committee for the Impeachment of the President.
"The leaked public protector report on Nkandla proves that president Zuma lied to Parliament and personally benefitted from over R200m of public money [without proper tender].
"Further, he personally intervened, unlawfully, by appointing his own architect over those already employed by the department of public works."
The committee called for the "immediate impeachment" of Zuma and urged that he be prosecuted.
Social activist Zackie Achmat wrote on the website that he supported the petition and said he would help organise a demonstration on 13 February 2014.
