Heath supports Mpshe’s decision

Acting National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Moketedi Mpshe could have made no other decision than to drop charges against African National Congress president Jacob Zuma, former judge Willem Heath said on Thursday.

"If he proceeded [with the prosecution] the judge would have ruled that it was an illegality and it would have come to an end," Heath said.

Heath said it was frightening that practising legal practitioners had been so quiet about the outcry over the NPA's decision.

"The silence and the apathy of practitioners in South Africa after the announcement by advocate Mpshe is deafening."
