Zuma & his RET cabal are using courts to fight political battles..it is only fools & dunderheads who don't see that

Lezi ezi'two zidlala'ngathi...

Who is Adv Maenetje’s wife? Has she ever served on a board with Pres Ramaphosa?

The court must view everyone the same. That's why political parties were asking that he steps aside, so he can be investigated.

Zuma has been through a lot of prosecutions, but he is a human being as well, and he has human dignity as well... What is so different with their client?

What is it that ramaphosa is so hiding

Well...he is got to establish that in court that is handling the matter. Insofar as I am concerned, his salary, pegs and dignity will remain intact if he appears on 19. Mandela set the precedent and nothing happened to him. Instead we loved him more.

Good people we are settling finaincal crime criminals free this year , because we are all are same .

Shame! The poor bastard doesn't have much of a reputation as is and having Zuma trampling on his rights will dampen it even further for him. Let's all give him the same support as what he gives the country. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Oh that's harsh hey. That reminds me of the rights of all people to have safety, security and water etc....but they don't matter

Partial and Selective Broadcasting Sons of WMC, Captured to the core. Mxm!!!

And the lawyers for the former President bona batheni?

His rights are more importantl than other people's rights

While daydreaming 🤣

Court will be final arbiter of Zuma's private prosecution, says presidentPresident Cyril Ramaphosa says he has accepted that the political fallout between himself and his predecessor, former president Jacob Zuma, will have to be resolved by the courts because that is what Zuma has chosen. Zuma has money, these private prosecutions, appeal after appeal obviously go into millions, other cases are dismissed with costs, the guy is loaded for real 😳

Ramaphosa: Zuma 'deliberately' misconstrued my case on his private prosecutionFormer president Jacob Zuma had “deliberately” misconstrued President Cyril Ramaphosa’s court challenge to Zuma’s private prosecution of him, said Ramaphosa in court papers on Tuesday.

When is Zuma returning to prison?

Cyril Ramaphosa v Jacob Zuma: your questions answeredThe face-off between President Cyril Ramaphosa and former president Jacob Zuma about Zuma’s private prosecution of Ramaphosa will be heard in the Johannesburg high court on Thursday. I hold no brief for this Phala Phala money launderer, arguably the most useless president post 1994, however Jacob Zuma’s case is flimsy and have no prospect of success. He should have pursued Billy Downer and that white “journalist”.
