The NPA is expected to announce its decision today regarding the "spy tapes" judgment.

On 29 April the full bench of the High Court in Pretoria found President Jacob Zuma should face the 783 charges of corruption.

 After a seven-year battle by the DA, the court ruled that the decision to discontinue the prosecution against Zuma should be reviewed and set aside.

On April 6 2009, then-NPA head Mokotedi Mpshe said transcripts of telephone conversations between then-Scorpions boss Leonard McCarthy and former NPA boss Bulelani Ngcuka, showed political interference in the decision to charge Zuma.
