He said a number of respondents including the prosecution‚ the Speaker of parliament‚ the Presidency‚ the justice minister and Zuma are cited in the litigation.
“We have to cite him [Zuma]‚ he has an interest [in the matter]. We want a stay of prosecution‚” said Thekisho.
“We are people of social justice. Anyone one would have ensured that his or her constitutional rights are not violated.”
He said the prosecution had indicated to the NGO that it intended to defend the lawsuit and should provide an “interim affidavit” within 15 days.
Thekisho said the NGO would appoint a spokesperson to deal with the lawsuit next week.
