Former president Jacob Zuma will go down in history in many ways, one for being the most persistent litigant ever known, advocate Geoff Budlender submitted in the Pietermaritzburg high court on Monday.

They were issued with a summons in September last year.

It is common cause that the document was not given to Maughan by Downer but by another advocate on the team, Andrew Breitenbach.by both Zuma’s attorney and the NPA in support of an application by Zuma for a postponement of the trial. This court needs to say this is unlawful abuse. The courts have a duty to prevent abuse of process, to protect public confidence in the courts. This runs a mockery of the courtsHe said Zuma had already said in his papers he was going to use the private prosecution to have Downer removed from the trial and “no-one can say we haven’t been warned”.

Budlender said there was no evidence to justify such an allegation “which is defamatory, gratuitous, offensive, insulting and injurious”.

Indeed, the Gupta money has sponsored him quite a way in these losing endeavours.

This is about Mr Zuma's rights being violated and not about persistent litigation. Are lawyers and journalists and judges above the law? Can they trample on the rights of others? He wasn't supposed to be sentenced in the first place which shows how corrupt the courts can be.

Oksalayo these two Broke the Law and we want to see it take it's cause ....

ParliamentofRSA but has never taken parliament to court! Has never threatened the people's right to protest,simple he was never a dictator! Never sealed any documents ,never avoided oaying SARS!
