'Enough evidence' to charge Zuma
South Africa's top prosecutor says there is enough evidence to charge the new leader of the governing party, Jacob Zuma, with corruption. The acting head of the National Prosecuting Authority, Mokotedi Mpshe, said a final decision on when to take action against him was "imminent".The charges relate to a controversial arms deal, which saw one of Mr Zuma's advisers jailed for 15 years. Mr Zuma, 65, was elected leader of the African National Congress on Tuesday. He defeated South African President Thabo Mbeki in a bitterly fought contest. Mr Mbeki's spokesman on Thursday denied rumours that the president was now considering stepping down before the end of his term in 2009. Posted by: john frum 2007-12-20 |
