Cosatu says that it is extremely concern about the news that the National Prosecuting Authority is to appeal against the judgment of Judge Chris Nicholson on Friday while of course they have the legal right to appeal.

The Union believes the issue is primarily intended to drag up the legal process this already long legal process even longer.Cosatu says the NPA’s appeal would be a futile bid to appeal against judge Nicholson judgement.

Cosatu’s spokesperson Patrick Craven says even if the NPA has a legal case, the political fallout of the judgement which severely criticised the NPA and government ministers for interfering politically in the judiciary processes and surely that discredited the NPA so much that they can not with any credibility continue this appeal.

‘We believe its just playing for time.”
