DA says it will take legal action if NPA does not state whether Zuma will be prosecuted over Nkandla
The Democratic Alliance has given the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) until Monday to state whether he is going to prosecute President Jacob Zuma‚ failing which it says it will take legal action to ensure that Zuma is held fully accountable for his role in the Nkandla corruption scandal. DA leader Mmusi Maimane said on Sunday he had instructed the party’s legal team to engage the NDPP one final time to give them an opportunity to make a decision on whether to prosecute Zuma for his role in the Nkandla corruption scandal. This follows the eight charges he laid against Zuma in terms of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act‚ in 2014.
