DURBAN - The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has denied issuing arrest warrants for March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma and her husband, Xolani Zuma, following claims by the organisation that the couple could be arrested by Friday, 16 October.
The NPA was responding to a statement issued by March and March on Wednesday, alleging that the couple would be arrested on or before the date.
“The NPA wishes to categorically deny that any warrant of arrest was issued, and that it does not receive instructions from political parties, holders of public office, or anyone else on its prosecutorial function,” NPA spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said in a statement.
