“Unless President Jacob Zuma and the National Prosecuting
Authority (NPA) appeal the Supreme Court of Appeals (SCA) judgment handed down
this week, the lid could be lifted on how the country's first citizen dodged
corruption charges. This is what Jacob Zuma most dreaded. Three years after
charges of corruption, racketeering, tax-evasion and money-laundering were
dropped, the country’s Supreme Court has ruled to allow a review of that hugely
controversial decision. The ruling on March 20th could ruin Mr Zuma’s chances,
not only of getting re-elected leader of the ruling African National Congress
(ANC) at the party’s five-yearly “elective” conference in December, but also of
serving a second term as the country’s president”
I took the above abstract and cartoon from the renowned
cartoonist everybody loves to hate Zapiro. www.zapiro.com
– I am often intrigued by his unique way of interpreting every day issues.
The cartoon depicts a grave dispute Jacob Zuma faces. As
the current head of state all eyes are on him and his actions are being watched
under a microscope. South African citizens watch and await the verdict handed
down by the Supreme Court as
This all just makes me wonder, why the future rests in
the hands of the man accused of corruption.
