President Cyril Ramaphosa gave Jacob Zuma until Monday to withdraw his private prosecution. State Attorneys, on Ramaphosa's behalf, said the move was meant to scupper Ramaphosa's chances of re-election at the ANC's conference. | gerbjan
President Cyril Ramaphosa gave Jacob Zuma until Monday to withdraw his private prosecution.
"The purported summons were served on the President a day before the 55th National Conference of the African National Congress was due to commence. It is common knowledge that the President will stand for re-election as Presidential candidate. It appears that the purported summons were served to halt this candidature. This is an abuse of process," the letter states.
Early on Friday morning, the Presidency issued a statement in which Ramaphosa rejected Zuma's move with the"utmost contempt" and characterised it as an"abuse of legal process" and a"perversion" of the private prosecution provision.
