Another court could think differently about the National Prosecuting Authority’s “violations” of the Constitution and grant Jacob Zuma a permanent stay of prosecution, the former president’s counsel argued on Friday.

Zuma’s legal team was at the KwaZulu-Natal high court applying for leave to appeal against the court’s order.Zuma faces prosecution for 12 counts of fraud, four counts of corruption, one count of racketeering and one of money laundering. He lost an application for a permanent stay of prosecution last month, clearing the way for his trial to proceed.

One of these was the delay caused by the litigation over the “spy tapes”. These are recordings of phone conversations between former prosecutions head Bulelani Ngcuka, after he resigned as prosecutions head, and former Scorpions head Leonard McCarthy about when to time the service of Zuma’s indictment — before or after the ANC’s 2007 Polokwane elective congress — in order to influence its outcome.

Sikhakhane argued that a higher court could see differently to the high court his team’s argument on the effect of the violations of the NPA Act and the Constitution. These violations were serious enough for another court to conclude that the NPA’s hands were “now dirty” and therefore the trial could not proceed.

Jacob Zuma appeal matter goes ahead in Pietermaritzburg without himAdvocate Muzi Sikhakhane argued on Friday that in rejecting Zuma's bid for a permanent stay of prosecution, three KwaZulu-Natal judges had ignored “the prejudicial conduct of the National Prosecuting Authority” towards him. The South African judiciary is CORRUPT to the CORE!!! This case will eventually land in the ConCourtSA . Once it has been adjudicated there, Zuma will have to answer for his deeds in an impartial court of law. While other former heads of state are regarded as senior diplomats, he is seized with court matters. He must fetch Nicholson and Shabalala wherever they are.
