Zuma slams the NPA

Former deputy president Jacob Zuma says the manner in which the National Prosecuting Authority and other state organs operate needs to be reviewed. In comments posted in a letter on the Friends of Jacob Zuma website, the sacked deputy president says organs of state should never be drawn into personal or political agendas and allow themselves to be used to further a cause that has nothing to do with their role or mandate. Zuma praises the way in which he himself, the government, and the ANC has handled allegations against him, but says there are questions about the actions of the NPA and members of the media. Zuma is facing a rape charge as well as corruption charges.
