President Jacob Zuma reportedly wants to review the powers of the Constitutional Court.

The president was quoted in the Star newspaper today as saying that this was becasue some of the court's decisions were not unanimous.

According to the newspaper the issue was raised by a deputy minister and ANC
leaders at the party's national executive committee meeting two weeks ago and discussed by Cabinet ministers.

President Zuma reportedly questioned the logic of having split judgments and said
judges were influenced by the media.

He said if the decisions by Parliament could be challenged there was nothing wrong with questioning the judiciary.
