It has emerged that former president Jacob Zuma owes the public protector R330 000 in unpaid legal fees.

Durban - While former president Jacob Zuma has labelled the recent ruling by the Pietermaritzburg High Court on his corruption trial as a “travesty of justice aimed at destroying me”, it has emerged that he owes the public protector R330 000 in unpaid legal fees.

This relates to his unsuccessful high court bids to interdict and review the state capture report by advocate Busiswe Mkhwebane’s predecessor, Thuli Madonsela. Mkhwebane is expected to reveal details of contingency assets on Friday, when she presents her office’s 2018/19 annual report and performance information for the first quarter of 2019/20 to the National Assembly’s Portfolio Committee on Justice and Correctional Services.

According to the report, Zuma owes the public protector R163 847 for the failed review and another R165 484 for the unsuccessful urgent application to stop Madonsela from releasing her report in October 2016. The revelations in the report follow DA leader Mmusi Maimane’s call yesterday for President Cyril Ramaphosa to confirm that his administration will not fund Zuma’s latest appeal of the decision to dismiss his application for a permanent stay of prosecution.

Where the FriendsOfZuma at

How 🙆🤦🤷 but she kept quiet all are long. That office needs that money to run efficiency

Zuma must ask Shabier Snake for help

Is it true AdvBMkhwebane ?

But he is skipping along merrily. Ignorant.

No, it is a lot more. Lets not underplay the amount, it is in the millions that he owes in legal fees that taxpayers have footed. Anyone else and they would have had all assets sold off and facing jail time. Corrupt to the core
