South Africa's Zuma to Appeal High Court's NPA Ruling

President Jacob Zuma has filed notice to appeal a North Gauteng High Court ruling that Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa should appoint a National Director of Public Prosecutions to replace Shaun Abrahams. Zuma claims the court "erred in law in holding to be constitutionally permissible to have two presidents in the country at the same time and both exercising presidential powers".
