AfriForum gives NPA 3-month ultimatum to prosecute Duduzane Zuma
Johannesburg - Lobby group AfriForum is giving the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) until early next year to either prosecute President Jacob Zuma's son Duduzane for culpable homicide or give them the green light to prosecute him privately.
AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel told journalists that they had given the NPA a January 2018 deadline to release a nolle prosequi certificate (required for a private prosecution), which would allow former NPA pitbull Gerrie Nel to prosecute Duduzane.
"If we have not received any feedback, [we will] go ahead and take the action that needs to be taken," Kriel said.
Kriel added that, according to the law, they need to give the NPA a fair amount of time to make a consideration.
"The act does not prescribe what a fair time is to them," Kriel said, adding that he felt a fair time would be three months.
