Spy Tapes: NPA fails to meet deadline of court order
30 March 2015
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has today missed a third consecutive deadline to file its answering affidavit to the DA's application for a review of the decision to drop over 700 charges of corruption against President Jacob Zuma.
If the NPA fails to file its papers by tomorrow the DA will seek a contempt of court order against them.
The NPA was on 16 March 2015 compelled by an order of court to have filed its answering affidavit in this matter by the close of business today.
Instead they have missed yet another deadline, this time in contravention of a court order. Indeed last time the lateness was attributed to time constraints. Today, however, the reasons for this dithering are unclear.
