South African Opposition Welcomes Ruling Against Prosecuting Head

A North Gauteng High Court ruling, which set aside National Prosecuting Authority boss Shaun Abrahams' decision to withdraw charges against his deputy Nomgcobo Jiba, has been hailed by official opposition party the Democratic Alliance. This comes after the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution asked Abrahams to assure them that he will not withdraw corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma until a Constitutional Court ruling has been made.
