Zuma's lawyers to make representations

ANC president Jacob Zuma's lawyers would submit their representations to the National Prosecuting Authority regarding his case either late Monday or on Tuesday, Zuma's attorney said.

"We have told the NPA, if not late today, definitely tomorrow," said Michael Hulley.

Details of the "comprehensive" document would not be released to the media, said Hulley.

"It is a confidential document for the benefit of the NPA," he told Sapa.

Zuma's lawyers were supposed to have made representations on January 26 but were unable to make that deadline. At that time, they were in the throes of preparing an application to the Constitutional Court, as well as an appearance in the Pietermaritzburg High Court.

The right to make representations to the NPA before being charged again for corruption alongside arms company Thint, has formed part of Zuma's overall legal strategy.

The representations are usually in letter form, and are then considered by the authority.

A recent Supreme Court of Appeal ruling reinstated the contested charges and Zuma and Thint ultimately intend filing an application in August for a permanent stay of prosecution.
