Billy Downer SC and Zuma are not in the same league when it comes to the forensic skills and legal education/experience required to run a complex criminal trial over months

Former president Jacob Zuma at the State Capture Commission in Johannesburg, Picture: Veli Nhlapo

The Daily News reported that he intends representing himself in the trial, which should be interesting if the judge presiding allows it. Everyone has the right to a fair trial, which includes the right to have a legal practitioner assigned by the state at state expense, “if substantial injustice would otherwise result”.[C 35].

Schabir Shaik, who faced similar charges for corrupting Zuma, was sentenced to 15 years. That is the same sentence that can be expected if our prosecutors move nimbly to charge Zuma for decapitating the National Prosecuting Authority by paying Mxolisi Nxasana to walk away from his post as national director of public prosecutions only 22 months into his 10-year term of office.
