Ordinary citizens have watched from the sidelines while "white media" and white university professors, conducted a trial by media against Deputy President Jacob Zuma, and other prominent ANC leaders.

Why are the above-mentioned people taking it up on themselves to run investigations on behalf of the Scorpions?

Who are these sources who are finding it prudent to take information to the media and not the courts, to justify and prove a case against the Zuma?

In as much as the deputy president is not above the law, even the above-mentioned persons are also not above the law.

They must take whatever information they have to the courts, and allow the due process of the law to take its course.

They should stop trying to be prosecutor and judge at the same time.

The media and the professors should desist from interfering in the process of law.
