DA loses in bid to have Jiba suspended

The Western Cape High Court on Monday dismissed an application by the Democratic Alliance (DA) asking the court to force President Jacob Zuma to suspend Deputy National Prosecuting Authority head‚ advocate Nomgcobo Jiba.

Jiba was harshly criticised by the Supreme Court of Appeal in cases related to the so called Spy Tapes.

 The DA claimed that she was protecting people close to Zuma.

No reasons were given for the ruling. The judgment will be released during the course of the day.

Updates to follow.
