LEGISLATIVE seperated from the EXECUTIVE BRANCH seperated from the Judicial
There are three legal branches. The legislative, executive and judicial. The legislative branch of government gazettes the laws. The Executive branch(NPA) uses these laws to hunt down criminals and protect the social fabric. The prosecutors presents a case to the Judicial who must evaluate the evidence as laid out by the National Prosecuting Authority(NPA). The legislative can neither force nor prevent the NPA from prosecuting in terms of a law enacted by the Legislative. Our constitution has seperated these three pillars of our justice system so as to prevent '''Legislative, Executive or Judicial TERROR. ''' The agenda of Vusi Pikoli the NDPP and his eight deputy directors Billy Downer, John Welch etc. is not to turn the public into to criminals as some sections within the Legislative desire but to hunt down real criminals, much to the disapointment of VANS license holders, Telecoms firms, Telecoms lawyers and the legal fraternity in general.

Something only becomes established as law once the Judicial rules on it. The three seperate pillars of our justice system are seperate so as to prevent Essop Pahad from making a law forcing all Umhlungus to sing freedom songs, prosecuting them if they don't and convicting them. Lets presume that Essop Pahad part of the Legislative drafts a law forcing all whites to attend heritage day celebrations. Now do you really think the Executive Billy Downer is going to force his friends and family to attend. If he won't do it inspite of what the law says then how could he possibly prosecute you for not singing freedom songs?

Some would say that such a law must be ignored because it would be ridiculous. Ridiculous according to whom? According to the public maybe, but what do we do if the NPA doesn't think it is ridiculous? And this is crux of the matter when it comes to the compliance laws like the Icasa Amendmend Act and Electronic Communications bill - when you speak to a Telecoms lawyer, Icasa or NewsMedia legal division it
