Gerrie Nel and AfriForum, but also for everyone in the country who support the principle of equality before the law.<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>According to Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) was forced by AfriForum\u2019s willingness to privately prosecute to then make a turnabout and indeed prosecute Zuma Jr. This after the NPA initially decided to not prosecute Zuma Jr. in connection with a vehicle accident which took place on 1\u00a0February\u00a02014 on the M1 highway in Gauteng and in which Pumzile Dube, a young female passenger, died on impact. \u201cIt firstly remains the NPA\u2019s duty to prosecute offenders and when the possibility of private prosecution is there and forces the NPA to do its job, AfriForum views this as a victory,\u201d Kriel adds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Kriel the decision to prosecute Zuma Jr. is also a victory for the Dube family, who can now after more than four years finally look on as justice is served. Kriel praised the Dube family for their willingness to demand that prosecution takes place and indicated that AfriForum will continue to assist the family in this case.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Regarding the attempt from Black First Land First (BLF) to physically and verbally try to intimidate him outside the court, Kriel says that AfriForum will not be intimidated by a small group of fringe figures who are funded by the Guptas. \u201cIn fact, the BLF\u2019s actions make AfriForum even more determined to see to it that justice is served for the Dube family,\u201d says Kriel. According to him the majority of people in the country cannot associate themselves with the intolerance and racism that the BLF represents and AfriForum will not give further publicity to the BLF by laying charges against them with\u00a0the police.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The civil rights watchdog AfriForum says that Duduzane Zuma\u2019s appearance in
