Prosecutor appeal in Zuma matter a "delaying tactic": SA opposition

Date: May 23, 2016

South Africa's main opposition party said on Monday the State prosecutor's decision to appeal a High Court order that graft charges against President Jacob Zuma be reinstated was an attempt to shield the President.

The State prosecutor had earlier told a news conference he would appeal against the ruling that could reinstate 783 corruption charges against Zuma.

The opposition Democratic Alliance party said in a statement that this was "a blatant delaying tactic to shield Zuma from facing the 783 charges of corruption, fraud and racketeering leveled against him almost a decade ago."
