At least two opposition parties have said that, if charges against J Zuma are withdrawn, they will institute a private prosecution.

To do this, they must show that they represent individuals who have been harmed by such a decision (not to prosecute). Given the constitutional responsibilities of the president, and the right of all citizens to be equal before the law, every citizen will be harmed by such a decision -- especially if it is taken because the prosecuting authority has been blackmailed into a decision in order to protect other wrong-doers in high places.

By signing this petition, you indicate your support as a citizen for a private prosecution. E-mail address and confirmation compulsory to filter out bogus signatures and messages. Please be civil and rational in your messages.
