Can Zuma break the impasse?
Environmentalists are hoping President Jacob Zuma can break a political impasse around a tough new international climate change treaty which will be negotiated at Copenhagen in December, notes a Cape Argus report quoting Tasneem Essop, the former Western Cape Environment Minister, who has just returned from another round of UN Framework Convention on Climate Change talks in Bonn, Germany.
And, notes E-Brief News, the portents are not looking good for Zuma, who appeared to acknowledge as much when he told supporters after Friday's hearing that the next stop in his ongoing battle with the NPA might well be the Constitutional Court.
