Legal Analyst Mpumelelo Zikalala says there is a slim chance that former President Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution bid against President Cyril Ramaphosa will be successful.

Zikalala argues that the President does not have the power to interfere in the work of the National Prosecution Authority and other legal practitioners.President approached the High Court in Johannesburg on an urgent basis to interdict Zuma’s private prosecution bid . Ramaphosa is asking the court to hear his application on the 10th of January next year and excuse him from appearing before it on the 19th as directed by the former President’s summons.

Zuma launched a private prosecution bid against Ramaphosa for allegedly contravening the NPA Act on the disclosure of his medical records by prosecutor Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan.“What he’s being accused of is certainly not something that he cannot be able to do. You can’t be accused of breaking the law or you can’t be accused of not wanting to break the law because the bone of contention in this case they are saying, you did not act against advocate Billy Downer.

After profiting from a weekly investment, I must say that everyone should stop falling for huge thousands, a lot has promised and failed from a hundred investments. MarkMaynardq is the best. Your income depends on your capital, trade with who is guaranteed of profit return.

Jacob Zuma doesn't know, follow or even respect the law. He thinks he is above the law.

Mpumelelo never anything about slim

We don't care about the chances but Ramaphosa must appear in court all what he is telling us now he my go to tell the court

Let President Zuma expose this whites laws

As long as there is a chance. Slim or fat, we're fine😂

Will that king of a decision be based on fair legal argument or a captured judiciary, that will rule in favour of Cyril regardless.

Esindlebende kwaso, kuphela esingayiboni leyonto.

And he is called a legal analyst. Not a change

Zuma must go to jail his a Criminal of Corruption, his a thief and a fraudster

Why slim chance? Why say the Pres should go to court and appear. There will be times when we compare your future analysis with what you media doing to Protect CR,atleast we are archiving

Let it go to court

He's being euphemistically polite.There is no chance at all!

As always

😂 😂 😂 Started to defend Ramaphosa

He is on Dagga that one

I saw that interview last night that guy was biased he hates Pres Zuma for some 😒 sabcnews where do you get these colonised biased analyst? how on earth does an analyst close his statement repeating that the president office must be protected he even closed with those words 🚮

Stop calling these people legal analysts please 🙏

What happened to ramaphosa's threats?🤡😂😂

Ramaphosa is buying everything and every1 nhe, yhooo

Slim is good enough I suppose

Of course it will be shld successful he is guilty & is so troubling when citizens talk also about Phala Phala dollars, Bosasa PPE & the elite support Cyrill is very troubling, he telling citizens how to get away with corruption. Zuma is right

There is no chance it will succeed. Some politicians are just above the law. Finish! Cyril must do whatever he wants.

Cyril has become untouchable,even d NPA has came out to defend him which means Zuma will never be granted a private prosecution against Cyril,period. The irony out of this,they haven't heard any testimony except reading a charge that is now ventilated in the media,really,come on

Then why is Cyril trying to bury the private prosecution ? And why use president zumas pic when Cyril is the one in question ?

Let the courts decide. Zikalala on the other hand must continue twerking for Phalaphala Matressess dollars. In a true democracy holding a sitting President accountable is encouraged. But racists and clever blacks (Zikalala) will disagree. Hope you understand

Ramaphosa owns the judiciary.

Cyril Ramaphosa is above the law i expect anything but I appreciate Jacob Zuma's every move of exposing our law system

We don't care what Zikalala is saying... President Zuma must continue with this matter..

Even if it can have 1% chance of success let it be ,the money launderer has been getting away with murder for far too long 🤔

At least Zuma is trying, the rest of us just complain about Ramadollars...

All cases before courts have different chances, what matters here right now is that, is this going to be heared in court, does this means Ramaphosa has a case to answer, does this means he is indeed charged? If so ANCNEC MbalulaFikile MYANC let the StepAside be applied

Clearly 0%. He is going to pay this madala. Ucabanga ukuthi kudlalwa umacashelana la.

It has no slight chance of success..!

A punitive cost order against Zuma is warranted in this case. This is a clear abuse of court process on his part.
