The Young Communist League of South Africa (uFasimba) calls on the Democratic Alliance to stop harassing the President of the country, Jacob Zuma, through their application seeking to reverse the decision to drop the charges against Zuma by NPA Acting National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Adv. Mokotedi Mphse.The latest attempt by the DA to accuse both Mphse and Zuma of trying to stop the case from getting to court shows that the DA has no interest in law but in attracting media attention.
The DA was one of the political parties which insisted on the "rule of law" when the YCLSA charged that the NPA was being used as part of the political conspiracy, and for them to now undermine the decision by the Acting NDPP is tantamount to mob justice and a smack in the face of the same "rule of law" that they were pursuing.
Hellen Zille is aware that there is no case for both Zuma and the NPA to answer, and that the matter is closed, but is however insistent that the matter should be brought to court again. We do not believe that the President should be subjected to any further persecution, especially by a political party whose leader and its votes are dependent on the number of times they appear on newspapers. We also question as to whose interests Hellen Zille is serving, if not of those who were implicated in the conspiracy (Penuell Maduna, Bulelani Ncguka). We also wonder why it is only Zille and not these two who are pursuing the matter. Who is Hellen Zille fronting for?
It is time for Zille and company to accept that Zuma is President of the Republic and move on from their affection with this matter.If Hellen Zille and the DA do not stop pursuing this matter, they will be working against the spirit initiated by Zuma to work together with the opposition parties.
