Former President Jacob Zuma has arrived at the Pietermaritzburg high court to hear judgment on his application to have state prosecutor Billy Downer removed from his fraud and corruption trialFormer president Jacob Zuma has lost his bid to have lead prosecutor Advocate Billy Downer removed from his corruption trial.
Pietermaritzburg high court judge Piet Koen said Zuma’s application — that Downer had no title to prosecute in the matter because he was biased — was incorrect in both law and fact. The matter is standing down for the representatives of the state, Zuma and his co-accused French arms company, to arrange dates for the trial.There was a small gathering of people and a high police presence outside the Pietermaritzburg high court on Tuesday ahead of Zuma's big day in court.
This comes after Zuma laid criminal charges against the prosecutor for allegedly leaking his medical records. Zuma filed the charges at the Pietermaritzburg police station last week.
