But the DA wanted the High Court to force Zuma to comply with Madonsela's findings because he did not apply for a stay of execution before he took Madonsela's remedial action on judicial review.
Selfe said the DA notes with interest the judgment handed down in the North Gauteng High Court on Friday morning.
“We elected to take a legal route in order to compel President Jacob Zuma to comply with Public Protector's remedial action as outlined in the Constitutional Court judgment in the Nkandla matter‚” said Selfe.
“On a number of occasions‚ including before the National Assembly‚ President Zuma has stated that he will establish a Commission of Inquiry. To date‚ he has not done so.”
“President Zuma has a long history of delaying processes‚ especially in cases of accountability. This matter has not been dismissed but has in fact been held back pending the outcome of the President's review application‚ which will be heard at the end of October‚ where we will also be in court to continue this fight for accountability.”
