"The fact that President Zuma and his legal advisors were prepared to go to
Court, and lost, is further proof that the ANC is a failed government", said
Mr Koos van der Merwe MP, Chief Whip of the IFP. "This is yet another
example of how Government's incompetence is costing the taxpayers huge
amounts in wasted legal costs," added Van Der Merwe.

Van der Merwe also lauded the Judiciary. "The fact that the Constitutional
Court gave judgment against the President of the country, is proof that our
Judiciary judge matters without fear or favour and true only to the
Constitution and to their consciences. We are proud of our Constitutional
Court and our Judiciary."

Van der Merwe said "he hoped Mr Zuma has learned a lesson and that in future
he should strictly obey the laws of our country."
