With legal challenges to his medical parole looming, the former president’s lawyers opted to first argue for the removal of the prosecutor.

When Jacob Zuma’s arms deal case resumed this week, his counsel said the former president’s health woes were not relevant, but it was the elephant in the courtroom, dwarfing legal argument that Billy Downer be removed as prosecutor and the former president acquitted.

Advocate Dali Mpofu SC decamped from his position earlier this month that should the state and the defence disagree on whether Zuma is fit to stand trial, there would be oral arguments on the matter. Alternatively, should his health improve, he had said, the court would use Tuesday and Wednesday to hear his special plea that Downer lacked the title to prosecute Zuma because he had displayed a lack of impartiality in the almost 20 years he has worked on the case.

Racism hiding behind rule of law- there’s an agenda pursued by white NGOs & media out there to oppress & reinstate Apartheid & WhiteSupremacy- the persecution of Zuma is well orchestrated & funded by Stellenbosch & its political branches

Helen Suzman foundation and DA did not even care about the medical parole of Clive Derby Lewis... Even when Agrizzi was released on medical parole

Lol zuma lol

Until he is where he belongs (jail), there will be no rest.

Apartheid formations will win because an important arm of the state is captured.
