Presidency welcomes dismissal of private prosecution appeal

The Presidency notes and welcomes the dismissal of Mr. JG Zuma's leave to appeal the setting aside of his private prosecution of the President. As we have always maintained from the onset, the private prosecution had no basis in law and constituted an abuse of private prosecution provisions.
