Another law firm has dumped former president Jacob Zuma ahead of his Constitutional Court appeal of the personal costs order granted against him by the North Gauteng High Court in December 2017.

A full bench of the high court – Gauteng Judge President Dunstan Mlambo, Judges Phillip Boruchowitz and Wendy Hughes – ordered Zuma to pay the legal costs in his personal capacity during his unsuccessful bid to have ex-Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's “State of Capture” report reviewed and set aside.

Kgoroeadira Mudau Inc. director Rapulane Kgoroeadira confirmed that his law firm had withdrawn from representing Zuma at the Constitutional Court. In his application, Zuma states that the apex court must determine whether or not he should be held personally liable for costs on a punitive or any scale incurred in the pursuit of his constitutional duties to challenge Madonsela’s remedial action relating to his exercise of constitutional functions to appoint Cabinet ministers.

Zuma further states: “The award of a punitive costs order against me was incorrect, given the fact that I was acting as the president who was concerned about the constitutionality of the remedial action.” “It is a transparent attempt to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the state capture commission that Zuma has been trying to avoid,” DA attorney Elzanne Jonker said in the official opposition’s answering affidavit.

Lawyers doesn't represent someone who tells them to do impossible.. You steal and you tell Lawyers to go and blame White people for your crimes

This poes

Pro pono

He must call the Guptas

Law favours the powerful, ordinary guy it's summons then arrest then court then prison

The queen will pay his legal fees....

Tshotsho

Could this be the real reason for all the firms withdrawing to represent JZ? Probably know the Pied Piper from Nkandla wont pay in his personal capacity & most were no win cases, so Pro Bono is a NO NO!

They will torment Zuma until he surrenders. Surrendering here means he must denounce RET, endorse ThumaMina and call for all his supporters to stand down.

Probably bought off
