Supreme Court of Appeal overturns Zuma prosecution ruling

Organization history 📅 12 January 2009 📍 South Africa

The Supreme Court of Appeal upheld the National Prosecuting Authority’s appeal and set aside the Pietermaritzburg High Court order that had invalidated the decision to prosecute Zuma. The ruling concerned prosecutorial procedure and the limits of judicial findings; it did not decide Zuma’s guilt. The case remained politically significant because Zuma was ANC president and the party’s prospective election candidate.
