The Democratic Alliance (DA) says it is disappointed by what it calls” delaying tactics, in the case against President Jacob Zuma on fraud, corruption and money laundering charges.
The DA says the National Director of Public Prosecutions, Shaun Abrahams, still refuses to treat the president like any other accused.
The president has now been given until the end of January to submit representations as to why he should not be charged. DA’s Federal Coucil chairperson James Selfe says the party remains committed to ensuring that Zuma has his day in court.
“We regard the delay as very unsatisfactory because Mr Zuma has been already been given an opportunity to make representations when he was initially charged in 2007. We believe that this is a failure on the part of the National Prosecuting Authority and we believe that it is another chapter in the long history at the delaying tactics that have been demonstrated at President Zuma’s case.”
