The High Court ruled that the NPA was wrong to withdraw corruption charges against President Zuma.

JOHANNESBURG - The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has confirmed it will be taking its case in the Spy Tapes saga to the Constitutional Court.

Earlier this year, the High Court ruled that the NPA was wrong to withdraw corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma.

The NPA is not backing down in the Spy Tapes saga and has now turned to the highest court in the land in a bid to prevent Zuma from facing corruption charges.

The court ruled in April that former NPA head Mokotedi Mpshe's decision to drop corruption charges against Zuma was irrational and he should face the charges in his original indictment.

Mpshe's decision was based on the Spy Tapes obtained by Zuma's lawyers, which showed former scorpions boss Leonard McCarthy had political motives in deciding the timing of serving Zuma with the accusations.

The NPA hopes the Constitutional Court will come to a different ruling and charges will not be reinstated.

NPA spokesperson Bulelwa Makeke says, "Just constitutionally, not on the other issues. Some of the issues are clarified but the issue of the separation of power still remains a bit of a grey area that needs to be dealt with in the in the Constitutional Court."
