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.
