EFF WELCOMES THE SUPREME COURT'S JUDGMENT TO REJECT ZUMA'S APPEAL ON SPY TAPES SAGA

Friday, October 13, 2017

The EFF welcomes the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) Judgement to reject Zuma's appeal to challenge the High Court decision that the NPA decision to drop the 782 corruption charges was irrational. This means the NPA must immediately institute charges against Jacob Zuma. 

The best way to restore the integrity of the NPA is to proceed and charge Zuma who must, in turn, step down from the highest office in the land. Zuma's continued occupation of office undermines the ability to uphold the rule of law. Not only has he broken the constitution, he has done everything in his power to avoid facing corruption charges. He is the greatest living threat to democracy and respect for the rule of law. He must step down and face the full might of the law.
