The National Prosecuting Authority finally made its decision to drop the charges against the ANC president Jacob Zuma. They maintain that the case against him is a strong one and they admit to spending Huge amounts of taxpayers money to build the case that would most likely have sent Zuma to prison. But a finger is being pointed at former Scorpions boss Leonard McCarthy for an “intolerable” abuse of the legal system.

So the NPA decided to drop the charges on a technicality based on illegal manipulation of the justice system. Mokotedi Mpshe said it was, “Neither possible nor desirable for the NPA to continue with the prosecution of Mr Zuma”.

They also stated that Zuma can still be charged by private parties and the DA plan on seeking legal council on the matter. So this decision merely means that the National Prosecuting Authority will not pursue the case and their decision to drop the charges “does not amount to an acquittal”.

The fact that this case remains unresolved means that Zuma will have this ‘cloud’ over his head until he can prove his innocence in a court of law. Until then, truth will remain unknown and if he becomes the President of South Africa, then our President will be an alleged criminal…

What does that do for foreign investment and the stability of an already unstable nation?
