Maimane: Chance for NDPP to prove himself
DA leader Mmusi Maimane says he is writing a letter to the National Director of Public Prosecutions, to reinstate all corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma.
The president faced another legal setback on Friday.
The Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed a bid by Zuma and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to appeal the so-called spy tapes case.
Maimane says the reinstating of the charges is an opportunity for prosecutions boss Shaun Abrahams to prove he is fit to hold office.
"In our view the charges stand, because if the fundamental decision to drop the charges was irrational, it goes to say the charges stand."
Maimane says the party is writing to Abrahams asking him to do his job.
