The High Court in Pietermaritzburg will rule on whether or not to postpone former president Jacob Zuma’s arms deal corruption trial. Zuma will know if his fraud and corruption case will proceed amid his application for leave to appeal in the Constitutional Court.Downer argued that Zuma was supposed to appeal Judge Koen’s ruling 15 days after dismissing his special plea, referring to the move as delay tactics.Representing Zuma, Advocate Sfiso Buthelezi told Judge Piet Koen that his client had no intention of making a postponement application.
Spokesperson for the Foundation Mzwanele Manyi believes the NPA needs to remove Downer from the prosecution team. “The NPA with all the hundreds of prosecutors that they have, why are they insisting on a man who has all kinds of issues to deal with. Right now, we are dealing with an accused person in a criminal case. How can an accused person like that be trusted to be free and fair without bias? So, it should have been automatic with the developments to date. The NPA should have announced that the lead prosecutor is somebody so and so, so the NPA by its refusal they are actually prolonging this matter”.
While PhalaPhalaFarm simply continues, unabated?
