ZUMA CHARGES DROPPED - A SHAMEFUL DAY

As we have been saying since last week, the charges have been dropped. It is a shameful day in our country's history.

People must brace themselves, our justice system is crumbling.

To remedy this situation the voters need to express their disgust at the polls.

This is the culmination of the campaign of the dodgy characters in the ANC to reduce this country to a banana republic - people must remember that a vast number of NEC members have faced or are facing charges.

The justice system of this country has been sacrificed on the altar of political expedience.

One of the most basic principles of democracy is that we are all equal before the law. That ideal now lies in tatters.

It is a bad day for the NPA. Contrary to their desire to ingratiate themselves with the incoming Executive, it would be far better for the leadership of the NPA to vacate their positions, because they will never be trusted again by the average South African.
