There was no ulterior purpose in the timing of former president Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution against President Cyril Ramaphosa. It was “purely fortuitous and coincidental,” said Zuma in court papers on Friday.

There was no ulterior purpose in the timing of Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution against President Cyril Ramaphosa. It was “purely fortuitous and coincidental,” said Zuma in court papers on Friday.

Ramaphosa ultimately wants the Johannesburg high court to set aside the prosecution as unconstitutional and unlawful. In the meantime he has asked — urgently next week — for an interdict to prevent any “further steps” in pursuing the prosecution and to excuse his appearance in the criminal court as per Zuma’s summons.

Zuma said: “My sole intention is to secure a conviction and punishment of the applicant ... Nothing will deter me, as the victim, from the ultimate goal of the attainment of justice against all those who have criminally participated, directly or indirectly, in my deliberate humiliation at the hands of my prosecutors turned persecutors.”

ANC spends too much time focused on fighting factional battles, internal politics & scandals when they should be focused on service delivery. When will they learn...🤷‍♂️

Improper statement right there from improper statesman 🤞

Zuma is the equivalent of a national cold sore. Irritating bouts of recurrence, socially reprehensible and of no value whatsoever

Jacob Zuma misses deadline in Ramaphosa's court bid to interdict private prosecutionZuma’s legal team was unable to meet the deadline because they were “spending time with their families” over the Christmas period. Shouldn't Parliament amend the law on private prosecutions so that a nolle prosequi certificate is only issued to a person with a prima facie case against the alleged offender (of course the decision isn't beyond judicial scrutiny)? Stop peddling your paid content on free social media platforms - clickbait Where were you expecting them to be spending Christmas?
