Former president Jacob Zuma filed a supplementary affidavit asking Pietermaritzburg High Court Judge Piet Koen to add instances of the NPA’s lead prosecutor advocate Billy Downer acting in an unethical manner.

Johannesburg: Former president Jacob Zuma has widened the scope of his legal battle to force the National Prosecuting Authority’s lead prosecutor advocate Billy Downer SC, out of his corruption trial, by adding two more instances of alleged prosecutorial misconduct.

The matter was supposed to be argued from last month but it has been stalled and repeatedly postponed because Zuma is not well and is receiving medical treatment under the military health services. “On 9 August 2021 and in keeping with this attitude, Mr Downer, strangely, filed an unsolicited affidavit, even prior to us filing our postponement application, in which he disclosed and annexed the confidential medical report in respect of Mr Zuma.

Zuma said Downer committed the alleged offence despite serious pleas to the NPA's legal representatives to treat the medical report with the strictest confidentiality.
