The Presidency says it will study the judgment delivered by the Supreme Court of Appeal on the appointment of the National Director of Public Prosecutions, Menzi Simelane.

In a statement, the high office “noted” the judgement and that President Jacob Zuma “will study the judgment, obtain legal advice and thereafter decide on what course to take”.

The Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein on Thursday ruled that the appointment of Simelane was invalid and that the President had failed to apply his mind properly because he ignored concerns raised about Simelane’s integrity.

Simelane’s appointment was challenged by the opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, in 2009 after it raised concerns about Simelane’s conduct before the Ginwala Inquiry in 2008 into the fitness of his predecessor, Vusi Pikoli, to hold office.
