IFP REACTION TO SCA JUDGEMENT: AFFORD ZUMA HIS DAY IN COURT
 

The IFP accepts and respects the Zuma judgement delivered by the Supreme Court of Appeal today as one of great historic and legal importance. 

"Some important accusations, impressions and confusion have been cleared up - especially concerning the integrity of persons such as former President Thabo Mbeki, Dr Penual Maduna and Mr Bulelani Ngcuka," said Koos van der Merwe, IFP Chief Whip and spokesperson on Justice. 

Van der Merwe added: "It is now about the future of Mr Zuma."  

The IFP believes that the law must take its course to afford Mr Zuma his day in Court. 

"Mr Zuma will have his day in Court, as all accused are entitled to, which proves that no one is above the Law," said van der Merwe.  

In conclusion van der Merwe added: "The Supreme Court of Appeal's ruling today will stabilise our shaken judiciary and it has done much to restore confidence in the judiciary."
