Former president Jacob Zuma's wife, MaNtuli, has written to NPA head Shamila Batohi, in a bid for her to clear her name after she was implicated in an alleged plot to poison her husband.
Durban - “EMOTIONAL trauma” is the burden that Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma, the wife of former president Jacob Zuma, has carried since 2015, after she was implicated in an alleged plot to kill her husband. That was the claim made by attorney Ulrich Roux, the legal representative of Ntuli-Zuma, who is the mother of three of Jacob Zuma’s children, in his letter sent last week to the National Prosecuting Authority’s head Shamila Batohi.
NPA spokesperson, Luvuyo Mfaku, said: “We can confirm receipt of representations from Mr Roux in respect of the matter, but we cannot comment further.” Mahlobo’s instruction, according to Roux, related to Ntuli-Zuma’s alleged involvement in, or having knowledge of, a plot to poison her husband. “My client has, from the outset, made it clear that she is not aware of, nor was she in any way involved in an alleged conspiracy to murder Jacob Zuma. This still remains her position,” Roux maintained.
After sending letters to Abrahams requesting progress updates, Roux said that he had been informed that the head of the NPA’s Priority Crimes Litigation Unit, Dr Torrie Pretorius, was overseeing the matter.
