=Youth organisations unite in support of Zuma=

Youth organisations united today in calling on the Public Protector to intervene in the Jacob Zuma saga to ensure that his rights are protected.

The Progressive Youth Alliance - comprising of the ANC Youth League, the Young Communists League, the Congress of South African Students and the Student Union for Christian Action - joined Cosatu and the SACP in condemning the raid by the Scorpions on the homes of Zuma last week.

They say Vusi Pikoli, Head of the National Prosecuting Authority, abused his power.

The Young Communist League said they will hold night vigils for Jacob Zuma, while the Student Union Christian Action (SUCA) called for divine intervention.

Makhosini Nkosi, spokesperson for the National Prosecution Authority, declined to comment.
