South African Opposition Party DA Insist Zuma Has Not
Proven His Innocence
South African News Updates
10 April 2009
DA leader Helen Zille reiterated
her call for ANC president Jacob Zuma to have his day
in court either to be acquitted or convicted, in her
regular Friday letter.
Zille said the party would do everything to safeguard
constitutional democracy, and that is why they filed
an urgent application in the High Court in Pretoria to
review the decision by the National Prosecuting
Authority to drop corruption charges against him.
"We will fight to the bitter-end, using all the legal
measures available to us, to ensure that justice is
served."
"Zuma must have his day in court. All other evidence
in possession of the NPA that points to criminal
conduct by [former Scorpions boss Leonard] McCarthy
and [former NPA boss Bulelani] Ngcuka must be heard in
court, too," she said.
She added the DA was the only party that can stop Zuma
and his "ANC-clique" from abusing their power and
undermining the Constitution.
"Zuma has not proven his innocence. He has not been
acquitted. He has merely been let off the hook by the
NPA," she said.
"Why would the NPA withdraw the case in April, just
two weeks before a general election? The unseemly
haste can only be politically motivated," said Zille.
She added that the withdrawal of the charges gave the
ANC the election boost it needed, enabling it to
falsely claim that Zuma has been vindicated, and
indeed that he was innocent from the start.
On Monday National Director of Public Prosecutions
Mokotedi Mpshe withdrew corruption charges against
Zuma saying the decision was based on flaws in the
prosecution's own process.
The merits of Zuma's case were not taken into
consideration.
The withdrawal was primarily because there appeared to
have been an abuse of process by McCarthy and Ngcuka.
The charges were formally withdrawn in the High Court
in Durban on Tuesday morning. - Sapa
