Thousands of demonstrators marching to the highest court in the land.
They're supporters of the radical, left-wing opposition - the economic freedom fighters - waving placards that read: pay back the money.
They're in the streets of Johannesburg demanding an end to what they say is a culture of corruption in the highest levels of government.
"We want to witness that he signs and agrees in front of the entire nation of South Africa and the world that he is going to pay back that money."
"We are here for 'Pay Back the Money' because we are 100 per cent sure that there is corruption here."
It's being referred to as "Nkandla-gate".
More than 25 million dollars spent on upgrades to President Jacob Zuma's rural homestead in Kwa Zulu Natal - including a swimming pool, a visitor's centre, a cattle kraal, a chicken coop and an amphitheatre - nestled amongst rolling green hills in an area where villagers don't have access to electricity or running water.
The debates - and investigations - have gone on for years.
An inter-ministerial task team was put together, a parliamentary enquiry and a case taken on by the government's special investigating unit.
Then a report by the public protector - South Africa's anti-graft authority - titled "Secure in Comfort".
The March 2014 report said Zuma had benefitted unduly from the improvements to his home, describing them as a display of "opulence on a grand scale" amid a sea of poverty.
Last year, Police Minister Nathi Nhleko released a report of his own saying the president doesn't owe taxpayers anything.
He found that the pool was necessary for fire fighting, the amphitheatre built to prevent soil erosion by police vehicles and the enormous animal enclosures important to keep free running chickens away from security beams.
Opposition parties were outraged.
Leader of the Democratic Alliance Mmusi Maimane even went to Nkandla to see for himself.
"How could they allow millions to be spent on one man while so many are suffering. What's happened to the ANC?"
Now, in a seeming about turn, having appeared to dodge all questions on the issue, Zuma has offered to pay back some of the money.
His legal advisor Michael Hulley.
"The president will abide by whatever amount has been determined by the auditor-general and the Treasury official. He commits himself to that payment."
But Zuma's critics say it's not enough.
South Africa's Constitutional Court now must decide whether the public protector's report is legally binding.
Leader of the protesting Economic Freedom Fighters Julius Malema says he's waiting.
"Once this court makes an announcement that Zuma has violated the constitution, that is the end of it. This is just the beginning. The battle is on."
It's an election year in South Africa and in one of the most unequal countries in the world President Zuma's private homestead will continue being a very public issue.
