PRETORIA – The High Court in Pretoria has found that the decision to drop the corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma in 2009 was irrational. This means the decision to charge Zuma with corruption is now being reinstated. 

The court has also found that former acting prosecutions boss Mokotedi Mpshe’s explanation for his decision to drop the charges was “disingenuous”.

The opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) applied to have the decision by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to drop corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma set aside.

DA leader Mmusi Maimane says he is thrilled with his party’s victory.
