The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said it would make its announcement on how it would proceed with ANC president Jacob Zuma's case on Monday, spokesman Tlali Tlali said on Friday.

Speaking from outside the authority's Pretoria headquarters, Tlali said the NPA would brief the media on the decision at 10.30am on Monday.

On reports that it would announce on Friday whether charges would be dropped or not, Tlali said they were "pre-emptive".

"This decision could go either way," he said.
