This is not because our people are ignorant as many commentators, political analysts and the media would want us to believe, but because we are convinced that Jacob Zuma was not being treated fairly by some state institutions in their pursuance of an ulterior political agenda. Many of us knew long before some of the converted that Cde Jacob Zuma was innocent of any wrong doing – corruption, racketeering, tax evasion and rape – ours has always been the fact that at no stage will the NPA win any case against Cde Jacob Zuma. The off- the- record briefing of the media by Bulelani Ngcuka and Maduna was nothing except to launch a character assassination plot against Cde JZ. There is no one South African who can say the above is not true. As for me there was never an intention on the part of the conspirators to imprison or punish Cde Jacob Zuma for any crime – the only sentence to be meted out to Cde Jacob Zuma was for him to lose the battle for the Presidency of the African National Congress and that of the Republic. Cde Jacob Zuma was subjected for almost a decade to the kangaroo courts of public opinion – that is why even the media today, it is hiding its tail between its legs like a disappointed dog, ashamed of its disgusting conduct against one innocent man – instead of coming out and do the best honourable thing, to apologise to the ANC President, the ANC itself and the general public for having misled the country, with such a wicked diligence at the expense of both political and social stability. The media is trying more than at pain to justify their behaviour by raising issues which are completely nonsensical legally and otherwise. The dark cloud will always hang over the head of the ANC President The NPA decision has no legal basis except political pressure from the ANC in taking the decision to withdraw charges. Zuma must be forced to account and explain to the country as to how could he be a President whose personality has been tainted? These are some of the issues raised by the media and its think tanks – but all these questions are senseless because they regard the only legal process in this country is the courts – therefore Jacob Zuma must appear before a court of law before prosecutors could give in even when there are volumes of evidence indicating otherwise - forgetting that the very people who are suppose to take Cde Jacob Zuma to court have said it is not possible, considering evidence provided before them, Alas! the media and its sheeben patrons fails even to notice that the NPA in line with its constitutional mandate will be taking Cde Jacob Zuma to court in Pietermartzburg for the for judgre who in line with his mandate will be affirming the NPA decision. This evidence came through a legal process well known within the legal fraternity of our country. It is not a new thing that the NPA has done what they did which is in the main the only logical thing to do under the circumstances - even with regard to the Archbishop’s son – or should I say the son of our “mini god” the NPA took a decision without taking him to court – nobody made noise about it. It is indeed very true that when Ngcuka briefed certain senior journalists and editors about the so-called prima facie case he was actually mobilising the media behind the onslaught against Cde Jacob Zuma – the strategy was clearly calculated based on the understanding that the media is one powerful tool and very dangerous when in the hands of educated idiots and counter revolutionaries like Thabo Mbeki and his co. I guess I should not dwell much on the history of these matters as we have exhausted them overtime. The NPA decision – was it legal or not It is very difficult especially for us who are not legal experts to explicitly argue these matters from a legal point of view, however it is important to note that we are not dumb as Helen Zille, Mvume Dandala, Bishop Tutu, Justice Malala, Debra Patta, Leonard MCarthy, Terror Lekota, Nkepile Mabuse, Shadrack Gutto, Thabo Mbeki, Bulelani Ngcuka, Vusi Pikoli, Bridget Mabandla, Penuel Maduna, Barney Pityana, Terror Lekota, Sophie “Ngwenyama” Mokoena, Sam Sole, Zapiro, Snuki Zikalala, Mzi Khumalo, Allister Sparks and many others think. Our understanding about these matters is as clear as the difference between night and day. Firstly Cde Jacob Zuma used all the constitutional processes to challenge what we all know now – the political persecution against him. These include making legal presentation before a panel of senior prosecutors in arguing his legally based argument that he is being persecuted for merely political reasons. The fact that these presentations were aimed at exposing the manipulation of state organs for a political agenda, does not make the NPA less legal in taking the decision they took. It does not add up to say that by merely withdrawing charges against the ANC President Cde Jacob Zuma, the NPA acted illegally or under an undue pressure from anybody or any organisation. The only time the NPA was acting under pressure it was during Thabo Mbeki’s leadership of the ANC and Presidency of the country. In fact it will again be remembered that the defense argument in matters relating to Cde Jacob Zuma were since ever about the political meddling by both the Executive as per the “Emperror’s” advice and some state institutions. Now when this argument is presented before prosecutors and prosecutors decides to withdraw charges, it cannot be correct to argue that the decision is not legal. As for Helen Zille and others, let them go to the highest court and challenge this decision, besides this is their democratic right as both the opposition and as South Africans – however they should not think we shall fold our arms and let our President be dragged to court unnecessarily, for starters the ANC and its leadership have no time to play with the Madam and his garden boys and kitchen girls but we have time to do work to better the lives of our people as per the mandate given to us by the majority of the people of this country. Let me reiterate what the SACP have said that, Ngcuka and his pals should face the rough of the law as a matter of critical urgency so that we are able rebuild the image of our state organs – failure to deal with these political criminals decisively will not only undermine the credibility of our state organs but that of the country as a whole. One will further argue that Thabo Mbeki must before facing the law as we wish he does as an accomplice to these treasonous crimes be expelled by the African National Congress. It is without any doubt that the ANC and our country are as bleeding as they are today due to Thabo Mbeki and his leadership style which is typical of dictators especially in this continent. Finally, we wish the media as a body perhaps through the editors’ forum and many other media institutions, the Supreme court of Appeals, the Constitutional court, the Human Rights commission and many other institutions to follow the honourable example set by the NPA and apologise – we know it is difficult but yet it is the honourable thing to do.
