You seem to forget the legal process if the NIA gave them to President Motlanthe then its the presidents duty to hand the full scripts to the NPA directly………inorder to do a full investigation which hasnt been done, once again its bad enough that the NIA is showing Partisan but now the president of south africa must to? that would be the ultimate abuse of power.

sorry your argument simply doesnt fly

You seem to claim that these tapes were illigally acquired by Zuma’s defence. How do you know this? What if NIA handed them over to President Motlanthe, who declassified them & then gave them to JZ’s legal team? Would they still be illegal?

Therefore, he wants to delay his appearance until the situation is more sympathetic to him. Would Zuma pack the JSC? Of course he would; Zuma is capable of anything. Would Zuma pack the JSC just to help Hlophe? We can’t say for sure.

This is not a conspiracy theory; there is a Zuma conspiracy, obviously. What is written here is simply a contribution to a debate over how far the conspiracy extends.

No, I did not pass st 6. I grew up in the era of Grades Kos, oops I meant Koos. I then matriculated with distinction.

I am not delving into academics here. What does that have to do with anything? I think that was a low blow, which unfortunately( for you) was not low enough. Your country is about to be headed by an individual who did not do st 6.
There is nothing you can do to stop that, or is there?. Tony Leon and I feel that this inst a big issue, maybe you should meet us, then we can have a drink, whilst lecturing you a bit.

Now, here is a bit of advise; post comments that are worthwhile. We are not here to either ridicule or mock each other.

“Clearly, the prof wants the matter to go to court,”

No he doesn’t. He want”s the NPA tapes to be excluded from the defence on technical grounds.

… I would love for “the truth” about the NPA to come out and for allegations about it to be tested – IN A COURT OF LAW and for this boil to be lanced once and for all. In the absence of a finding by a judge we will never know (a) whether Zuma is guilty and (b) whether the NPA was abused. Why are you guys so scared of the courts?”

Perhaps once we have a full investigation into just how much compromised the NPA and the Scorpions were we wiil be able to tell if tampering with evidence could have occurred.

Clearly, the prof wants the matter to go to court, and Oz wants to delay, just like Hlope. Why? Read Squire’s judgement, all 55k words. Why? As if Squire’s judgement vidicates Zuma, and of what?

Please Ozone, argue if you must, but stick to what was given to us through the courts. Stop sleeping. Don’t go off on a tangent, just to silence those doubts you have.

Oh yes, lest I forget, I’m on the market for a wine estate, and a Porsche! Know anyone selling these in a hurry?

I am afraid Prof, your conspiracy theory, albeit tongue-in-cheek, may not be so unfounded after all.

The Zuma gambit appears to be at work here.
