The Pietermaritzburg High Court is today expected to hear yet another application by former President Jacob Zuma for the recusal of lead prosecutor, Advocate Billy Downer, from his arms deal fraud and corruption trial.
Earlier this month, Zuma lost his appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal , against the enforcement order of a ruling which set aside his private prosecution of Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan. “The matter has been decided before by the previous judge, Judge Koen, and also the SCA and the Constitutional Court had made a determination. So it will be interesting to know what type of new things are going to be dealt with or new submissions are going to be made by the former President, except the only difference at the time in which the first application was made – we did not have a lead prosecutor that was facing criminal charges,” says Zikalala.
