The Democratic Alliance has served President Jacob Zuma with papers regarding his failure to answer a Parliamentary question put to him by DA leader Mmusi Maimane about how much public money has been spent on avoiding the 783 charges of fraud‚ corruption and racketeering against him.
Chairman of the DA’s federal council James Selfe said on Sunday that by avoiding the question‚ the DA believed that both the President‚ and the Deputy Speaker‚ Lechesa Tsenoli‚ presiding at the time who allowed President Zuma to avoid the question‚ acted unlawfully and unconstitutionally.
“For more than eight years‚ taxpayers' money has been used to pay for the President’s legal costs in the so-called ‘Spy-Tapes’ case.
