Fewer than 100 Zuma supporters gathered outside the court where the 79-year-old is applying for leave to appeal against judge Piet Koen’s dismissal of his special plea to have state prosecutor Billy Downer removed as prosecutor in his corruption trial. “The PEC made us believe they would assist us in transporting young people to the court in support of former president Zuma, only to find today people were waiting to be picked up from their designated areas. Young people are calling us, as they are trying to arrange their own transport,” he said.

ANC branch members who visited Zuma in Nkandla to get an endorsement before the municipal elections should “stop talking and start acting”, he said.
