The Congress of South African Trade Unions, an official partner of Mbeki's ruling African National Congress, said Wednesday's court decision to strike down corruption charges against Zuma showed he had been "maliciously prosecuted".
The resolution, passed at a Cosatu congress, demanded "the immediate reinstatement of Comrade Jacob Zuma to the position of Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa" and an end to all legal moves against him.
Mbeki fired Zuma as his deputy last year after another judge found he had a "generally corrupt" relationship with his financial adviser.
