Zuma takes battle to ConCourt
28/11/2007 18:18 - (SA)
Johannesburg - African National Congress deputy president Jacob Zuma on Wednesday applied to the Constitutional Court for permission to challenge aspects of the National Director of Public Prosecutions investigation against him.
With two weeks to go until the ANC conference, at which he may be elected president of the party, Zuma plans to challenge the issuing of a letter of request secured by the NDPP to get documents related to the investigation released from Mauritius.
In papers lodged at the court, it is argued that aspects of the investigation infringed on his right to dignity and his right to a fair trial.
The deadline for the NDPP to say whether it intends opposing the application is December 20, when the ANC conference will be in its final hours.
