POLITICAL NEWS - The Democratic Alliance (DA) is furious that President Jacob Zuma has dragged the Spy Tapes saga along for eight years, only to concede at the final hurdle.
Both Zuma and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) accepted in the Supreme Court of Appeal on Thursday that the decision to withdraw criminal charges against him in 2009 was irrational, and must be set aside.
While Zuma has repeatedly said that he wants his day in court but has spent significant resources stopping that from happening.
“Now they’ve come to the Supreme Court of Appeal with vast legal teams and enormous amounts of preparation, only to concede in one morning. It’s outrageous and it’s an abuse of the process.”
But the NPA’s Luvuyo Mfaku has defended this latest court action.
