NPA slated for âallowing Premier Zikalala to get away with flouting lockdown lawsâ By IOL Reporter Share Cape Town â The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in KwaZulu-Natal has been slammed for deciding not to press ahead with criminal charges brought against Premier Sihle Zikalala for allegedly flouting lockdown regulations last year. The DA highlighted in a statement on Wednesday that ââit appears all men are not equal before the law in South Africa'â, with Zikalala being able to ââget away with holding potential super spreader, illegal events at a hospital, while citizens were arrested for legally buying groceriesââ. On April 27 last year, the DA had laid criminal charges against Zikalala based on the then stage 5 lockdown regulations.
