The High Court in Johannesburg has found that President Cyril Ramaphosa would suffer material harm should he appear in a criminal court in accordance with the summons that former President Jacob Zuma has issued.

The full bench of judges granted Ramaphosa’s urgent application to interdict Zuma’s private prosecution bid against him.

Deputy Judge President, Roland Sutherland, said that there was a case for the violation of personal rights on the part of President Cyril Ramaphosa. On Thursday, Ramaphosa’s lawyer, Advocate Ngwako Maenetje, argued that his client’s rights would be trampled upon in Zuma’s private prosecution bid. Zuma launched the bid after accusing Ramaphosa of failing to act against prosecutor, Advocate Billy Downer, for the alleged disclosure of his medical records.In his judgment, Sutherland said: “The application is urgent, and the ordinary forms and service provided for in the uniform rules in court are dispensed with.

Things are getting worse nowdays

Lol

Material harm my foot! This is a criminal and money launderer and a failed president.

Predictable, if Mbuyane can tell NPA not to prosecute him and indeed they don't, what's next. All arms of the state captured but still Mr Cyril has the nerve to say 'my hands are tied' when it comes to loadshedding and Eskom tarrif increase.

I don't blame the south Africa judiciary but why citizens take long to act !! You will wait for the miracle till the coming of u jesu
