Former president Jacob Zuma’s legal team has told the High Court in Pietermaritzburg that the friends of the court have been attacking him.

Advocate Thabani Masuku, for Zuma, has been delivering counter arguments in the former president’s private prosecution matter.

Zuma is accusing Advocate Billy Downer of leaking his confidential medical records, filed in his arms deal trial, to journalist Karyn Maughan. Downer and Maughn are asking the court to set aside the matter. Masuku says the submissions of South African National Editors’ Forum and the Helen Suzman Foundation that the private prosecution is an attack on the media, are not true.

“We are here to urge more condemnation on Mr Zuma’s private prosecution, you would have heard, amici, even choice of language in your title Mr Zuma. You submit that amici and the Helen Suzman Foundation has failed to utilize their status as friends of court to make submissions that are helpful in court that would enhance sub judicative process or even enhance its independence.

Oh shame go cry you f&cking corrupt stealing thieving criminal

Adv Mpofu made himself a laughing stock once again he was jumping from one file to another like a headless chicken with his team. Dawner and ms Maugham team dismissed what he said for hours in one hour. Mpofu is really destroying himself.

They should be kicked out... They are acting as secondary lawyers for the accused

This man is wasting the courts time and money and he knows it. Surly there must be a legal way to put an end to this circus or is endless amounts of money going to keep this alive forever. 😂🤣😂🤣
