In South Afrca you announce that you're going to make a decision, then you announce that you've made a decision, and then you announce that you're going to make an announcement on the decision you have made… #ZumaCharges #ShaunAbrahams

My personal view is that Shaun has long gone past his sell-by date. I don't know what it will take for Ramaphosa to simply remove this clown really. SA deserve much better than this.

We welcome the decision by the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Shaun Abrahams, to proceed with the #ZumaCharges.
This is a victory for all who have fought for years for Jacob Zuma to face accountability. – @MmusiMaimanehttps://t.co/0X5SNli62F
