The Democratic Alliance has described the decision by the Supreme Court of Appeal to order the National Prosecuting Authority to hand over so-called spy tapes as a historic day for our democracy.

In 2009, then acting NPA boss Mokotedi Mpshe, used the tapes as grounds for dropping more than 700 counts of corruption charges against Zuma. 

DA’s Jamie Turkington said both electronic and written data will be released to the DA.

“Using those tapes we will proceed with a review of whether the NPA took the right decision in dropping 700 counts of corruption against President Jacob Zuma Turkington added.
