Zuma makes representations to NPA on corruption charges
1 February 2018
Johannesburg – President Jacob Zuma has submitted his representations to say why he should not face prosecution for the 2009 Spy Types saga to the National Prosecuting Authority late on Wednesday evening.
The representations were initially supposed to be submitted in November 2017, but National Director of Public Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams extended the deadline to January 31, 2018.
NPA spokesperson Luvuyo Mfaku has confirmed that the president's legal representatives submitted his representations at 21:00 at the NPA offices.
A Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) ruling dismissed Zuma's and the NPA’s application to appeal a high court ruling that the dropping of the corruption charges against him by then NPA boss Mkotedi Mpshe was "irrational".
