Official opposition charges South Africa's President Zuma yet again

06 Novembre 2017

Cape Town, South Africa, November 6 (Infosplusgabon) - The official opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) on Monday announced that it is taking President Jacob Zuma to court after he failed to answer a question posed to him in Parliament last week.

DA leader Mmusi Maimane last week asked how much the president’s office has spent on legal costs fighting efforts to have corruption charges against him reinstated.

Zuma sidestepped the question prompting a walkout by the DA which said he had yet again made a mockery of Parliament.

In terms of parliamentary rules, the president is required to answer questions truthfully.

“The question was quite simple. It was clear and unequivocal. He may be in government now, but he is going to jail. I can assure you he is going to jail,” Maimane said.
