It's almost laughable how little merit there is to Zuma's case against Downer, but not when you consider his real goal is to break the system

The term 'Stalingrad tactic' comes from the days of World War 2 when the Russians dug in their heels for five months to wear down the German forces. Not one to be outdone by his Russian comrades, Jacob Zuma is oft said to be employing the tactic in his legal strategy. In the 1940s, it may not have been the most honourable way to win a battle, but goodness gracious was it effective.

In the 1940s, it may not have been the most honourable way to win a battle, but goodness gracious was it effective. In the 2020s, it may not be the most honourable to way to win a legal battle but the results also speak for themselves.back in 2005? Yup, nearly 20 years and nearly two full presidential terms later, uBaba is aiming for some sort of a record.But that’s just surface level when it comes to JZ’s legal positioning.

In a nutshell, if uBaba can discredit as many elements as possible when it comes to his case, he doesn’t need to win it. He’ll simply go down a martyr and let the country burn at the hands of riotous supporters.And when picking targets, who better to take aim at than the dude who put his good buddy away?From a legal perspective, it makes no difference whether the prosecutor has a personal vendetta against the accused. There is no requirement of objectivity on the part of the prosecutor.

For a legal case to be fair, one looks to the judge. There’s a reason JZ couldn’t channel his inner-Mandela and request the judge to recuse himself. He’ll find a reason to do that later and delay the matter further though.Apparentlyleaked some documents. Now the documents in question were part of the public record. At least this is the view of those who understand that documents produced in court tend to have a public element to them.
