South Africa: State Capture - DA to Lay Criminal Charges of Perjury Against 'Grossly Remiss' Zuma

press release

The Democratic Alliance (DA) welcomes today's ground-breaking judgment by the North Gauteng High Court, dismissing President Zuma's spurious attempt to review the Public Protector's State of Capture report, and its binding recommendations. This means that the report stands, and confirms that the President must at once establish a Judicial Commission of Inquiry into "State Capture" - as ordered to by the Public Protector. The commission must be headed by a judge selected by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng, established within 30 days, and has 180 days to complete its work.

As the original complaint in this matter, we remain focused on ensuring the Judicial Commission of Inquiry is promptly established, and that the well-known allegations of "State Capture" are interrogated and investigated, and justice is served. The President cannot continue to shield himself, his friends, and his family from accountability.
