SHOOT: My ANC

Made In China
[Btw I plagiarised this comment from ThembaM because I didn't have time to really think about what it was I thought I should say that would sound right. Oh and I got the title for this post from nwali.]
The NPA’s statement explaining its decision to drop charges against ANC president Jacob Zuma closely resembles a judgment handed down in Hong Kong six years ago, according to an article on the website politicsweb.co.za.
A ruling handed down on December 13, 2002 in Hong Kong by Justice Conrad Seagroatt cites British Commonwealth judgments that acting prosecutions boss Mokotedi Mpshe refers to in his statement, noted politicsweb’s editor James Myburgh in his article, dated April 14.
"Even more strikingly the phrases quoted are almost all the same as well — give or take some self-serving summarising, truncation and rewriting by the NPA," Myburgh pointed out, comparing more than a dozen sections from Mpshe’s statement and the judgment.
Myburgh questioned whether the rulings Mpshe leaned on were "really relevant" to his decision to drop charges against Zuma.
