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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
