After the ANC President Jacob Zuma and the National Prosecuting Authority approached the Appeals Court to appeal against the 2016 “spy tape recordings,” Jacob Zuma made a concession at the eleventh hour in which he declared the decision to withdraw more than 700 corruption charges against him irrational.
Zuma’s lawyer, Kemp J Kemp, made this concession in the appeals court but requested that his client would like to make new submissions to the National Director of Public Prosecutions.
This will mean that Shaun Abrahams, the current director of prosecution, can take a new decision or take the matter to trial.
The presiding judge, Eric Leach, asked why Zuma applied for an appeal and then conceded that the withdrawal of charges was irrational.
Appointment in the application is reserved.
