Like former president Jacob Zuma, the case’s co-accused, Thales, wants a permanent stay of prosecution that would bring legal proceedings relating to its role in the hugely controversial arms deal which took place in 1999. Katz argued that the decision by former national director of public prosecutions Shaun Abrahams to reinstate charges against Thales was “unlawful and irrational”.

“Each accused is to be determined on its own facts and circumstances. Thales is independent of Mr Zuma, Mr Zuma is independent of Thales, and when you consider Thales, you consider Thales’ facts and circumstances, not Mr Zuma’s. When you consider Zuma, you consider Zuma and not Thales,” he said.
