Corruption Charges Against ANC President Jacob Zuma Must
Be Reinstated
South African News Updates
8 April 2009
Congress of the People chairman
Mosiuoa Lekota said in Pretoria on Tuesday that
corruption charges against ANC President Jacob Zuma
must be reinstated.
Speaking to over 100 students at the University of
South Africa, Lekota said he backed Democratic
Alliance leader Helen Zille's call for a judicial
review into the withdrawal of the charges.
"Without batting an eye they must be reinstated. We
are in full support of the call for a judicial review
of [advocate Mokotedi] Mpshe's decision."
On Monday, acting National Director of Public
Prosecutions, Mpshe, announced that charges would be
dropped because there had been an internal abuse of
process relating to Zuma's prosecution.
The decision was not based on the merits of the case.
Lekota said it was absurd that because a second crime
appeared to have been committed in Zuma's prosecution,
that his alleged crimes, which happened many years
ago, should suddenly fall away.
"It's absolute nonsense, it makes a mockery of
justice."
He said Zuma had "worked together" with convicted
fraudster Schabir Shaik around the same time his
charges surfaced.
"There can be no debate about the fact that something
wrong was done."
Lekota, a past chairman of the ANC, broke away from
the party over the way former president Thabo Mbeki
was forced to resign following a court judgment
relating to Zuma. - Sapa
