COPE National Spokesperson Dennis Bloem says in a statement the National Director of Public Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams is clearly just nothing but Mr Jacob Zuma's puppet.                                                                                                                                                                      

 When Abrahams was appointed for the position, he said very bravely that he is nobody's puppet, but his own man.             

He at the same time assured the country that he will perform his duties without any fear or favour.

Bloem says Congress of the People is not surprised today when this puppet with no courage fails to tell Mr Zuma and Minister Masutha that his Deputy Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi were declared not fit to run the office by the Pretoria High court.            

He says Abrahams is even prepared to break the law for Zuma. He is afraid to tell Zuma that he doesn't want to break the law by keeping Jiba and Mrwebi on the payroll following the court's judgement.

COPE says it is a total disgrace that instead of firing Jiba and Mrwebi, they are being put on special leave he concluded.
