Zuma submitted the application after the SCA turned down a petition for leave to appeal the earlier dismissal of his special plea to have the lead prosecutor – Advocate Billy Downer – recused from his trial. “One is that there will be a decision from the SCA. That’s hopeful decision number one. Hopeful decision number two is that the SCA would probably dismiss again, and all of that. Hopeful number three is that even the Constitutional Court might refuse to hear us.”The proceedings on Tuesday solely focused on possible trial dates, pending applications, and the availability of counsel.
