Zuma supporters seem not to recognise his
continuing run of misfortune. Because in the beginning Ngcuka made his infamous
"prima facie" comments, which seemed to clear Zuma of future prosecution but
simultaneously cast a cloud over him without providing him with an opportunity to prove
his innocence. Zuma pleaded for his day in court, but investigations dragged on. Later he
was finally charged, but not before being fired as Deputy President of the country. And
now that his day in court was about to dawn the case has been struck from the roll again.
It looks like Zuma is back to square one, with the cloud still hanging over his head.
The judge has not done Zuma any favours. His political opponents will continue to say that
he has many unanswered allegations against his name and that he continues to escape
prosecution on technicalities. |
