Judge Chili says he could find no grounds for the argument that Zuma’s right to a fair trial would be violated iJudge Chili says all of Zuma’s attempts to have Downer removed have been unsuccessful.
He adds that the Supreme Court of Appeal had made a factual finding that Zuma’s attempts to have Downer removed was an abuse of process.Meanwhile, legal expert Lwazi Gwacela says Zuma’s notice for leave to appeal indicates that his legal team has requested that the matter be heard by a full bench of the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
Zuma is in the dock with French arms company Thales on charges that include fraud and corruption in connection with South Africa’s arms deal in the 1990s.“What the actual reasons will be is very difficult to actually underpin what the judge may have thought, what was happening in his mind when he was making that ruling. We do however, expect that he will furnish us those reasons – in full or in summary.
