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."
