We have come a long way with the inference that there were conspiracies and secret agendas in the case of ANC president Jacob Zuma. Judge Chris Nicholson’s ruling vindicated our long-held believe of political meddling in the case despite that the supreme court of appeal and constitutional court failed to apply principles of common sense to expose those who misused or abused state institutions to achieve narrow political ends.
These higher courts also failed to appreciate that the procedural injustice dispensed against Zuma was in direct conflict with the Constitution, and the state had no basis to charge him without affording him an opportunity to make representation on the matter. Interestingly, it took 8 years for the NPA to realise that the Scorpions was used as a private army to break some laws and selectively obey others to the detriment of our everyday legal practice – all in an attempt to concoct evidence to secure a conviction against Zuma. With hindsight, the NPA relented and invited Zuma to make representations after having appealed against Nicholson's ruling that Zuma did have the right to make representations before the NDPP decided to re-charge him. This was not only a waste of tax-payer's money but a proof of subjective prejudices and attitudes of the NPA towards Zuma’s case. Despite all of this, vexatious litigants with no interest for the rule of law and the basic rights guaranteed in the constitution are soliciting signatures for a petition to institute a private prosecution against Zuma. We can only wish them luck in their endeavour but doubtful of any prospect of success. We remain confident that the people of SA will vote for the ANC on 22 April 2009, to advance a cause to work together to achieve a better life for all.

After Mpshe pronounced it clear that Bulelani and McCarthy were behind the political conspiracy that we have been complaining about, the Zilles, Holomisas, Delliles and Dandalas walked with their tails between their legs and with heads down. They are n o longer talking about the private prosecution they were talking about prior to the outcome. One ANC always, the ANC will always be the winner nomakanjani. Viva Msholozi viva.
