Our correspondent is following the story. Reporter the da will be spending the next three days trying to convince a full bench, three high court judges, that the decision by the National Prosecuting authority to drop 783 corruption charges against the president was wrong. This all comes down to what is known as the spy tapes. These are secretly recorded telephone conversations between the former head of the prosecuting authority and a justice in which there is evidence that they may have colluded on the timing of these charges. At the time of dropping these charges, the National Prosecuting authority says that was evident of political interference in the process. The da is arguing that regardless of whether there was political interference or not, the strength, of merit of the case against zuma was Strong Enough that he should have had enough his day in court.

Worried about a backlash in the public at large as the business of the national has seized up at a time when there is important business to be done. There is an election coming up on april 13. There is an aagreement on redrawing some of the electoral boundaries that need to go through the National Assembly before that that happens. Also a recognition that this is an attempt to delay this legislation which is destined for eventually defeat. The reason the opposition has been against this bill is that they say it gives too much power to an organization which they intensely distrust which is the National Intelligence service. It gives power, it would give power to the National Intelligence service simply to label somebody as suspected of terrorist activities around then they would be allowed to wire tap their phones, gain access to their bank records and the Opposition Party says thats too much power on too vaguely worded provision. So far as the authorities are concerned, were in the aftermath of a north Korea Nuclear test and rocket launch. It bill does seem it will go through.
