ConCourt rules Abrahams can announce Zuma decision
Johannesburg – The Constitutional Court has on Wednesday dismissed an application by the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution to have the head of the NPA delay his announcement on whether former president Jacob Zuma should be prosecuted.
Casac filed an urgent application last week to interdict head of the NPA Shaun Abrahams from announcing whether Zuma will be prosecuted, pending a ruling in the Constitutional Court in the case.
The possible charges Zuma could face for the 2009 'Spy Tapes' saga include fraud, corruption and racketeering.
Zuma had to make representations on why charges should be dropped after a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling dismissed the former president's and NPA's applications to appeal a ruling by the North Gauteng High court in Pretoria.
NPA spokesperson Luvuyo Mfaku confirmed that the application was dismissed, but said Abrahams would not be making his announcement on Thursday.
