The Madonsela Letters: Zuma is destroying our Constitutional order day-by-day
12 September 2014
The Democratic Alliance categorically condemns President Jacob Zuma's letter to the Public Protector penned yesterday.
The letter attempts to redefine the scope of the Office of the Public Protector, in direct violation of the Constitution.
President Zuma has made it clear that he will stop at nothing to protect himself from liability for the undue benefit of R246 million that accrued to him at Nkandla. This latest salvo is a slap in the face to all South Africans.
The President must uphold the law and protect the Constitution, not destroy its limitations on power, day-by-day.
