Depu
ty President Jacob Zuma, apparently responding to a challenge
issued by the National Directorate of Public Prosecutions, told the
SABC yesterday that he was ready to appear before the Hefer
Commission.
The NDPP urged Zuma on Monday to present the commission with
evidence that Bulelani Ngcuka, head of the NDPP, was abusing his
power.
"If Zuma has any evidence of abuse and of ulterior motive, he is
challenged to present such evidence to the commission of Enquiry
established by the President for this purpose," said acting NDPP
spokesperson Rudolf Mastenbroek.
The commission was set up recently by President Thabo Mbeki to
investigate allegations that Ngcuka had been a spy for the
apartheid government.
The allegations surfaced after Ngcuka's directorate investigated
Zuma for alleged corruption linked to the country's multi-billion
rand arms deal.
Yesterday the deputy president told the SABC in an interview in
Kempton Park that he was ready to give evidence to Judge Joos
Hefer.
The NDPP issued the challenge on Monday in response to accusations
made by Zuma that Ngcuka had abused his power when he held a
"secret meeting" in July with a group of black editors.
The meeting was held to discuss cases being investigated by the
elite unit, the Scorpions. – Sapa.
