English term or phrase: R246m home
On the very eve of democratic South Africa’s fifth general election, the Electoral Court delivered a landmark judgment on the rules of electoral engagement, setting a standard for the way political parties express themselves in future elections. The background to this decision, available here, is set out below.

On 20 March 2014, the DA sent a bulk SMS to over a million recipients, stating: ‘The Nkandla report shows how Zuma stole your money to build his R246m home. VOTE DA on 7 MAY to beat corruption. Together for Change.’

The ANC took the DA to the High Court, complaining that the SMS violated electoral law, which prohibits parties from publishing false information intended to influence an election (section 89(2) of the Electoral Act) and false or defamatory allegations about political opponents (item 9(1)(b) of the Electoral Code of Conduct). The High Court found that, although the SMS was “not entirely accurate“, it did not fall foul of electoral law, liberally interpreted, as it constituted “fair comment“, i.e. “an opinion that a fair person, perhaps in extreme
form, might honestly hold“.

agree  Bruno Batalha: Eu só escreveria "rand", com letra minúscula. A letra maiúscula me confunde um pouco, porque normalmente escrevemos nomes de moedas com letra minúscula.

Explanation:
The "R" is an abbreviation for the South African currency, the Rand. So "R246m" means 246 million South African Rand.
