Acting National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) head Mokotedi Mpshe on Saturday said the decision whether or not to prosecute African National Congress deputy president Jacob Zuma and police National Commissioner Jackie Selebi will be made soon, the South African Broadcasting Corporation reported.
Mpshe said both Zuma and Selebi’s cases have to be finalised as soon as possible to avoid uncertainties and finger-pointing.
Mpshe was a guest speaker at an awards ceremony for best prosecutor in Mafikeng in the North West.
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) in KwaZulu-Natal has called on its members to be on what it terms a provincial state of alert in preparation for the possibility of the NPA reinstating charges against Zuma.
Cosatu provincial secretary Zet Luzipho said they believe that the political conspiracy against Zuma has reached what he calls its explosive destiny. — Sapa
