4THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE OUTCOME

3%$

It is perfectly clear that I have been investigated since 2000 by the NDPP and

that I and my financial affairs came under intense scrutiny from the Prosecution

in 2001 up until 2003 !he Prosecution used a multitude of "overnment

resources to diligently do so for 2 years on its o#n version !he outcome of the

investigation #as the decision to charge $haik It #as e%pressly announced by

the NDPP& 'r Ngcuka himself& that a decision #as taken not to prosecute me

as there #as insufficient evidence to prove my guilt I anne% hereto the public

announcement by 'r Ngcuka on 23 (ugust 2003 and I mark it )'* !his #as

the outcome of an intensive 2 year long investigation #ith all the resources of

the $tate being utilised

3#$

+hat 'r Ngcuka effectively said #as that I #as party to corruption but that it

cannot be proven in a criminal court !hat #as e%actly ho# the 'inister of

,ustice& 'r 'aduna& understood him - hence his comment at that media

conference that it #as a )sad day* #hen the NP( says a Deputy President has

a case to ans#er

35$

!hat 'r Ngcuka #anted to be understood in the above sense and #as so

understood& brooks no denial !he $unday !imes #ent on to report in its

reaction to this announcement on 31 (ugust 2003 that.


37/170


)/o#ever& Ngcukas announcement that the $corpions had

prima facie evidence of #rongdoing by uma but #ould not be

able to secure a conviction took the humiliation to a ne# level

!he implication is that the man is guilty but covered his tracks

#ell*

3"$

I also refer to my complaint to the Public Protector !he NP( and 'r Ngcuka

have never once gone on record to refute such reports evincing such an

understanding !hey had every reason and every opportunity to do so if the

import of the NP(s announcement #as misunderstood

37$

!he response of 'r Ngcuka as NDPP to the Public Protectors report #as to

convene a press conference at #hich both he and 'r 'aduna castigated the

Public Protector !his #as #idely reported on national television

33$

+hen the charges relating to $haik #ere announced in (ugust 2003& the NDP

announced that #hilst there #as a prima facie case against me& and that the

investigating team #hich include the members of the prosecution team then

and no# considered that they had a good case against me& there #as not

sufficient evidence beyond reasonable doubt to convict me /ence the

decision not to prosecute me #ith $haik


38/170


39$

I took this matter up #ith the Public Protector #ho found in clear terms that my

constitutional rights had been infringed

90$

I further contend that the inference is irresistible that this #as a deliberate

attempt to poison the minds of the public !here #as no need for such

pronouncements they #ere meant to preudice and they did I say so inter alia

because of the history of the matter

91$

Indeed uma #as so concerned about the delay in the investigation that he

took the unprecedented step in the first part of 2003 of virtually inviting 4

challenging the NDPP to bring an end to the an%iety and stigmati5ing by

charging him #ith the offences Ngcukas response #as the public

(nnouncement of 23 (ugust 2003

92$

!his is dealt #ith else#here but in essence Ngcuka stated that there is a prima

facie case of corruption against uma but it is not certain that he #ill be

convicted

9%$

!he prima facie case statement evoked the e%pected press response6 uma is

guilty& he is corrupt but has& ho#ever& covered his tracks #ell


39/170


9#$

It #as clearly foreseeable by the NP( that the announcement cast in the

manner it #as& #ould evoke e%actly that kind of mass media response

7mboldened by the NDPPs statement that the (ccused had a case of

corruption to ans#er& but that there #as no absolute guarantee of success& the

Press launched the vicious attacks on the credibility of the (ccused and his

fitness for any office !he harm and preudice the NP( foresa# in their discrete

investigation& #as no# unleashed in its full fury on the (ccused& encouraged

and driven by the announced e%istence of a prima facie case

95$

!he Ngcuka announcement of 23 (ugust 2003& in its tone and terms& effectively

e%posed uma to vicious and sustained attacks in the Press #ith no effective

means of Defence /e #as branded guilty by Ngcuka and left #ithout any of the

protections engendered by the subudice rule ironically used by the

Prosecution to later avoid ans#ering the Public Protectors queries !he ease

#ith #hich a statement could have been framed simply and truthfully 8according

to the NP(9 stating that there #as not sufficient evidence against uma& as

opposed to sufficient admissible evidence against $haik& to ustify prosecution&

bears repeating In short& much of the harm caused to uma #as avoidable6

indeed an e%planation such as the above #ould have taken a#ay much of the

associated guilt #hich #ould other#ise be read into the indictment against

$haik


40/170


9"$

:bviously emboldened by Ngcukas announcement and subsequent refusal to

qualify the NP(s accusation against uma 8as evident from the ,oint ;esponse

to the PP;9& the Press had a full go at uma /e #as branded as corrupt& a

crook #ho had covered his criminal activity #ell /e #as depicted as #holly
