Judgment has been reserved in President Cyril Ramaphosa’s urgent application to interdict the private prosecution bid by former President Jacob Zuma.

ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa at an official party event

he Johannesburg High Court on Thursday heard arguments from various lawyers representing the President, as well as his predecessorZuma is accusing Ramaphosa of failing to act against prosecutor, Advocate Billy Downer, for the alleged disclosure of his medical records. Zuma also accused the NPA of being dishonest regarding the issuing of the nolle prosequi certificates.

“Now when he says go to that court and plead, you have the right. Of course we have the right to go to that court, but we also have the right to assert our constitutional rights in saying we cannot be hauled before an unlawful trial, criminal proceedings.

“The first respondent says well, your urgency was in relation to the ANC conference and that has come and gone. But what he doesn’t acknowledge is that the step aside rule in fact continues to apply. So if he is hauled before a criminal court, those of his detractors in the organisation, well now you are criminally before court, you must step aside, but you step aside not only from your ANC position, you step aside from your national position as President.
