Ramaphosa welcomes court interdict in Zuma private prosecution matter

JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa has welcomed the decision by the Johannesburg High Court to interdict his predecessor Jacob Zuma's private prosecution case against him.

Zuma has accused Ramaphosa of being an accessory after the fact in the case against State prosecutor, Billy Downer, and journalist, Karyn Maughan. The former president alleges that the pair leaked his medical records, which were used as evidence in his arms deal corruption trial. Ramaphosa said that the court affirmed all his key contentions, such as the urgency of the matter against a court appearance date.

The president's spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya: "The judgment confirms the position of the president that the private prosecution is motivated by the ulterior purpose based on spurious and unfounded charges, constitutes an abuse of private prosecution provisions and demonstrates flagrant disregard for the law."

Does he not have much more important issues to deal with than Zuma playing games again?

Our justice system are capture!!

That is all these guys are good for!

he will win every case, he is in-charge of everything, he can do whatever he wants

Worst president ever. All that education and he's still useless. It's like we have a donkey for a president

Tell him he can go to Davos now, we will see how we can govern ourselves without a president, he's been AWOL all along

ANALYSIS: No Country for Two Presidents: Zuma’s ridiculous ‘legal’ argument vs Ramaphosa gets tested in courtThe Gauteng High Court is due to give its ruling this morning, 16 January 2023, on whether President Cyril Ramaphosa will in fact have to appear in a criminal court in a private prosecution brought by former President Jacob Zuma. While Zuma successfully convicting Ramaphosa is a legal impossibility, the case brings to the fore the relationship between the two presidents, and asks more questions about Zuma’s real intentions. Maybe Billy should allow the court processes to unfold... even though we know they are compromised 🤗 Anything that could bring Ramaphosa down must b supported no matter how ridiculous it may b.
