Prosecution of Zuma a "politically inspired affair" - SACP

[NameOfBeast]

We call on the working class and the poor not be distracted from the elections campaign to return, led by President Zuma, as the next government of our country with an even bigger majority in order to safeguard our revolution.

Whilst we will still be studying the judgment closely, nothing in this judgment changes the fact that the prosecution and persecution of the president of the ANC is a politically inspired affair. Whilst we respect the judgement, we however continue to reject the notion that there is no political conspiracy against the ANC President.

Did JZ get coin for a promise to help the arms dealers in the arms deal? What that a legal thing? That is all that we want to know, all the rest is political bs. And we dont care either way.

Does anyone actually listen to these guys anymore?

What boggles my mind is how the ANC can stand outside the court immediately after the decision was ruled, addressing its supporters and blatantly lie to them:

Mathole Motshekga told several hundred Zuma supporters that the ANC's presidential candidate was "not facing any legal trial".

"It is [a] political case. It remains a political case. It is a continuation of the political agenda we and our alliance complained about," he said to loud cheers.

He dismissed the SCA decision which, "with the greatest respect, was wrong", as mere rivalry between legal minds.

"We are dealing with the interpretation of the law by two different judges who obviously hold two different approaches of interpretations."

WTF!?

1 - He is now going to face legal trial. That was the gist of the ruling and the actual issue at hand.
2 - It was a unanimous decision by 5 judges who overturned and harshly criticised the previous ruling by a judge who based his ruling on political meddling, and not the facts of the case. He used an issue of great importance to stand on his soap-box and cry foul, and one can only hope that the reasons for this are investigated during the course of the overdue Zuma trial...

Nicholson is a disgrace. How could he have made a ruling without evidence? They were talking on 702 yesterday and said the same thing.

And I said the same thing when Nicholson made his judgment back then. You didn't need any kind of legal training to see some large loopholes in that judgment.

Whilst we will still be studying the judgment closely, nothing in this judgment changes the fact that the prosecution and persecution of the president of the ANC is a politically inspired affair.

So they haven't studied it yet? But they still feel qualified to comment on it. Typical. I hope that the people who study the judgment have at least finished school. I wouldn't want them to burn out when they come across big words like dismissed, irrelevant and evidence.

Yes I agree, I wonder what his motives were.

When your average voter has not the intellectual strength to chew gum and wave banners at the same time, you can tell them anything, and they will believe it.

He probably enjoyed the idea of staying alive.

I find it extremely interesting that the ANC still keeps backing a man who is doing everything possible to dodge a trial.

Just run the trial already so that Zuma can be vindicated or slapped on the wrists.

I wonder why none of the non ANC political parties don't "SLAM" Zuma's continued dodging of a trial. Are they really that scared of the Zuma backlash?

Perhpas it was a politically motivated judgement. This has become nothing but a farce and the trial has not even commenced.
I think the judiciary lost it's innocence and independence a while back. How can a judge make a judgement based on nothing but media speculation and reports, there is big doubt that a just trial can be had.

Not much need really to do so. "Man who throws mud loses ground".
The ANC-PF is more than capable of destroying themselves.

What fscking revolution does the ANC have planned this time ?

Ah, good old Confucius.

Its their new catch word for the masses. Someone neglected to tell them that the coming revolution will probably be against the ANC

Honestly you fuktards: there has never been a revolution. You were given the country on a silver platter. You have it to do what you want with it, and only you can cause a revolution against your rule.

After all this monkeying about I'm still waiting for some pissed off ex-CP current-AWB ex-SADF officer to take JZ out.

Its so sad that the ANC has gone from this idealist group of the greatest minds of our time, think Mandela, Sisulu, Tambo and Govan Mbeki, to this joke of the world. You know its bad when even Dubya feels its bad publicity to have a photo shoot with you!
