Tony Yengeni’s adamant DA leaders ensured his blood test results were fast-tracked to secure a conviction.

CAPE TOWN - The prosecution in the drunk driving trial of African National Congress (ANC) National Executive Committee (NEC) member Tony Yengeni believes it has blown out the claim that there's political interference in the case.

Yengeni was back in the Cape Town Magistrates Court today for the resumption of his drunk driving trial.

The politician and his defence have again claimed in court Democratic Alliance (DA) leaders have interfered in his prosecution.

Prosecutor Leon Snyman has told the court it was in fact national director of public prosecutions Shaun Abrahams who gave the go ahead for the trial.

Snyman put it to Yengeni that it was President Jacob Zuma who appointed Abrahams to his position.

He says based on this, the ANC NEC member's claim that the DA is out to get him doesn't make sense.

But Yengeni's adamant DA leaders in Cape Town ensured that his blood test results were fast-tracked to secure a conviction.
