The DA believes there is away out of the impasse created by the Pietermaritzburg High Court’s ruling on Friday and believe that that a Judicial enquiry must be appointed to get to the bottom of the arms.

Spokesperson for the DA Fritz de Klerk says “if President Thabo Mbeki has nothing to hide, then he has nothing to fear in such commission. Secondly, he must be given the opportunity to explain his alleged misconduct, he has a right to tell his side of the story and we have the right to hear it.”

As no pronouncement was made on Jacob Zuma’s guilt or innocents there is still a question and as the NPA believes he had fair case, Jacob Zuma;s prosecution should continue. De Klerk says that “after the legal defect leading to Fridays judgement has been corrected.”
