The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) wishes to respond to a statement issued by the March and March Movement which suggests the issuance of warrants of arrest against Jacinta MaNgobese Zuma and Xolani Zuma.
The NPA wishes to categorically deny that any warrant of arrest was issued, and that it does not receive instructions from political parties, holders of public office, or anyone else on its prosecutorial function. The NPA makes independent and impartial prosecutorial decisions, guided only by the Constitution, legislation and evidence.
As a general principle, the NPA does not normally make comments on matters of operations such as possible arrests and investigations before the law enforcement process involved is completed. Once a matter is enrolled in the courts, the charges and reasons for prosecution will become known through the normal judicial process.
The NPA encourages people and organisations to desist from making unfounded allegations or comments which may serve to misrepresent and undermine the criminal justice process.
The NPA remains dedicated to discharging its functions without fear, favour or prejudice.
