Zuma accuses the High Court of undermining his rights

Addressing scores of supporters outside the Pietermaritzburg High Court following the postponement of his criminal trial to February next year, Zuma said the decision taken by Judges Bhekisisa Mnguni, Thoba Poyo-Dlwati and Esther Steyn was “unusual” and “undermined” his right to a fair trial.

They were embarrassed to say how they had arrived at their decision and merely said a decision had been taken, even though there were instances where my rights were undermined“When the judges came back with a ruling, they did not want to lay out too many arguments as to why they could not grant the application I sought.

They were embarrassed to say how they had arrived at their decision and merely said a decision had been taken, that even though there were instances where my rights were undermined , after weighing the arguments out they deemed the crime I committed to be too grave making it acceptable that my rights be infringed upon”.

“What shocked us is that high court rulings are above all other rulings so this court could not arrive at such a decision... this is very unusual,” said Zuma to cheers from the large crowed that had gathered outside the court in articulation of the start of the former president’s criminal trial on Tuesday.

Strange words from the same person who has been saying that he is waiting for his day in court.

😂😂😂 not surprised at all!

Lol

Why don't you want your day in court to clear your name? Tell us please that you are not a corrupt, lying thief We will all be getting the truth soon.

When are these so called Best Black Legal Brains going to accept that Emotions or Ideology or Politics or Assumptions has no place in the Current People in Judiciary

That's the sound it makes when a man talks out the back of his neck.

So what is the 'usual' judgment?🤔🤔

Now our former President is a legal expert.

You said you wanted your day in the court.. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Embrace it and face the law
