The Pretoria High Court will disclose today whether it has granted the DA's application for an order reinstating the 783 charges of corruption against President Jacob Zuma. The charges were withdrawn in April 2009 by the then acting head of the National Prosecuting Authority, Mokotedi Mpshe, who justified his decision largely on the grounds that the so-called spy tapes included strong evidence of political interference in the decision to charge Zuma.The withdrawal of the charges paved the way for Zuma to become president. But the DA now argues that the spy tapes prove that Mpshe's decision was irrational.Today's ruling will be given almost a month after the Constitutional Court found that Zuma failed to uphold, defend and respect the constitution by failing to implement the remedial actions specified by Public Protector Thuli Madonsela with respect to "security upgrades" at his private Nkandla home.Madonsela - in her March 2014 report Secure in Comfort - found that Zuma and his family "unduly benefited" from non-security upgradings at the homestead that cost millions of rands. She ordered Zuma to repay a reasonable portion of the costs of the non-security upgrades, the amount to be determined by the police minister, the auditor-general and the Treasury.But Zuma instead ordered Minister of Police Nathi Nhleko to determine whether he was liable for any of the costs cited by Madonsela.In a unanimous judgment, the Constitutional Court's 11 judges found that Zuma's actions had been illegal.The court was scathing in its condemnation of the National Assembly, ruling that it had reneged on its obligations to the constitution by not holding Zuma accountable.Many ANC veterans, including Denis Goldberg and Ahmed Kathrada, have called for his resignation. They have been joined by some Gauteng ANC branches, and the provincial party leadership, which has urged him to "do the right thing"...
