LIVE | NPA 'threatened us with contempt for not allowing Zuma to be examined by its doctors' - Mpofu

In court papers, Downer says Zuma's"fears" that he had covered up for McCarthy"lack any factual foundation".

"I was not aware of Mr McCarthy’s ‘intelligence connections’ or that he was engaged in conversations with and receiving gifts from Mr Pienaar while he was the Head of the [Scorpions], if indeed there is any truth to these allegations," Downer states.Zuma has claimed that he has"come across information" that McCarthy was an operative for America's Central Intelligence Agency and was handled by an agent called"Andre Pienaar".

According to Zuma, the"Spy Tapes" recordings that prompted then acting National Prosecuting Authority boss Mokotedi Mpshe to unlawfully drop the corruption case against him in April 2009,"prove that McCarthy had received gifts from the CIA agent and had discussed, without any authorisation to do so, my case". These gifts, he later states, were Christmas presents.

"He [Pikoli] pointed out that the contents of the Browse Mole report had nothing to do with and played no part in the investigation and prosecution of Mr Zuma and Thales, and that during his time as the NDPP, it was not handed to the investigators and prosecutors handling the investigation and prosecution of this case," the High Court stated.
