AfriForum defends choice of cases

AfriForum‚ tackled about why it was targeting figures like Julius Malema and Duduzane Zuma‚ says it is true they are taking on high profile cases with a political link. But there's a reason.

The organisation's Kallie Kriel told a news conference in Centurion they were only entitled to bring private prosecutions in matters where the state's National Prosecuting Authority decided not to bring cases to court. And if they found it politically difficult to proceed‚ then Afriforum would attempt to step in.

"If the NPA doesn't do their job‚ then we have to intervene in these matters."
