    Following last week’s ConCourt ruling regarding the Secret Ballot vote in Parliament, all eyes turned to Baleka Mbete.

    The National Assembly Speaker must now decide whether or not to allow the Secret Ballot to take place, and civil society group Outa are tightening the screws with their new report.

    They will hand a dossier titled “No room to hide: A President caught in the act” to Mbete today, a dossier that finishes with six ways that Zuma has breached his constitutional obligations and oath of office.

    Via Times LIVE, those six summed up:

    • He has paralysed the criminal justice system to protect himself from prosecution;
    • In relation to Nkandla‚ he has enriched himself at the expense of the public and violated the constitution by defying the findings of the public protector to remedy this situation;
    • He has repeatedly lied to parliament about his conduct that has been investigated by the public protector;
    • He has turned a blind eye to the gross violation of the fundamental rights of millions of poverty-stricken South Africans to social assistance;
    • After being involved in a generally corrupt relationship with Schabir Shaik‚ he has moved to conducting a similar relationship with the Gupta family over the entire period of his Presidency; and
    • He has colluded in the plundering of the South African state for the benefit of the Gupta family and their business associates‚ including the president’s son‚ Duduzane Zuma.

    In a normal, functioning democracy those would surely provide ample evidence for impeachment, but that ship has sailed.

    It’s not just Mbete that will receive the report, though:

    Outa hopes to give every MP a copy of its dossier‚ and [Outa chairman Wayne] Duvenage said copies would also go to the ANC national executive committee‚ the Hawks‚ the police minister‚ the National Prosecuting Authority and the public protector.

    “As the case document has also been prepared and compiled in a manner that makes it suitable for presentation in a court of law‚ Outa will contemplate turning to the Constitutional Court when convinced that it would meaningful to do so‚” he [below] said.

    “Removing President Zuma from power is the primary step that needs to be taken before South Africa can start the journey of redressing the devastating effect that his conduct and the situation of state capture has had in our country.

    “We believe that others implicated in the report should also be removed from office and prosecuted; we are handing this document to law enforcement for this purpose.”

    Keep your feet flat on the accelerator, Outa, and let’s try and rid ourselves of this truly wretched president once and for all.
