The decision to withdraw the charges does not appear to be rationally connected to the information - ZILLE ON ZUMA

"There is no intention, it is not possible, or even desirable, to charge the president of the ANC."

Interesting choice of words. No intention. Not possible (which suggests not being to blame for one's inentions or lack of). Not desirable? In whose opinion?

The decision to withdraw the charges does not appear to be rationally connected to the information before the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP).  All indications are that the NDPP has not taken a decision based in law, but that it has buckled to political pressure. Two weeks before the election, it now portrays Jacob Zuma as a wronged victim in a show trial.

At the moment, we have the worst of all possible worlds, with selective prosecutions depending on who holds political office.
It is clear that the NPA is compromised in this matter.  The only way that justice will prevail is if the decision to drop the charges is reviewed in open court.
