The acting National Director of Public Prosecutions held a further meeting
at the National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA) head office in Pretoria today
with senior management and the team responsible for the prosecution of Mr Jacob
Zuma in order to consider representations he (Zuma) has submitted to the
NPA.
We have recently been supplied with additional information by Mr Zuma's
lawyers which has necessitated further investigation, verification and careful
consideration.
The NPA is treating this process with utmost urgency it deserves. We will
communicate the outcome of this process of consideration to Mr Zuma's lawyers
as soon as a decision is in place.
We would like to urge all, media included, to exercise patience and allow
space for this process to be concluded.
