He told the court Zuma believed his right to a fair trial would be jeopardised as Downer was not impartial and was driven by a political motive

He said Downer was a witness against Zuma when the DA called for a review after the NPA did not want to pursue charges against the former president.“Anyone who reads the affidavit will be clear that the entitlement to even ask for medical examination would only arise after the medical report had been completed,” said Mpofu

“The mere threat to conduct such an examination prematurely with no legal title, that was prosecutorial misconduct of the first order. This issue is not just about privacy, it also has national security implications because we are talking about a former head of state here.” . On social media, many expressed their views on Mpofu’s argument. Some praised him, while others suggested his argument was “weak”Verdict=It's not ripe to submit medical records. Doctors have still not made a view whether H.E Prez Zuma is fit or not to be physically present. But he has waived his rights subject to consultation arrangements with his lawyers during trial.
