In positive news for our democracy, the Supreme Court of Appeal has decided that Menzi Simelane’s role as National Director of Public Prosecutions is invalid. This is in response to an application by the DA, contesting President Jacob Zuma’s appointment of Simelane to the position in 2009.

The SCA has unanimously decided to set the appointment of Simelane aside, on the basis that it was inconsistent with the Constitution if read with the National Prosecuting Authority Act.

In its judgment, the court said that Zuma had “misconstrued his powers and acted irrationally” in his appointment of Simelane two years ago.
