Zuma trial postponed yet again amid application for state prosecutor's recusal

Masuku is expected to on Wednesday filed papers formally requesting that Downer step aside from prosecuting the matter, giving Downer and his team exactly a week to formulate their defense against why he ought not to recuse himself.

“We don’t yet have the plea [questioning Downer’s suitability to lead the state’s prosecution]. I am informed by my learned friend that it is supported by substantial papers, including statements sworn under oath,” said Downer. “My legal representatives informed the courts that there were many things done by those prosecuting and investigating this matter.

The issue of Zuma chopping and changing his legal representatives was also formally addressed, with Koen seeking clarity on which attorneys were now instructing Zuma’s legal team and whether the change would affect the start of the trial.Masuku indicated that the defense team was no longer instructed by Mabuza Attorneys, who in April filed a notice of withdrawal, taking with them the services of advocate Muzi Sikhakhane and advocate Mpilo Sikhakhane.

TheWhole free State - this man, thoroughly discredited, with a minority of people supporting him, he’s going to bring the whole free State to town-he’s joking, ha ha ha, he has a good sense of humour

Eish, they must give their sizes for the orange jumpsuits...saaaaamblief...

Wishful thinking of a man, who is not used to iddle on the sun _ get used to this life Mhetapele _ its your making!!

My first experience happens to be a failure but i never gave up cause i knew it was going to work out for me trying continuously, fortunately i'm smiling today by getting involved with Ronaldfred533

These two madalas, Gupta stooges, Ajay Experiments,,, they are so annoying,,,,

He is talking about the orange part of the free state

Birds of the same feathers flock together

Even today South African media doesn't run the Story on the Nazi Hit on Chris Hanis wife. Nor has the South African media questioned the swastika that was raised in that building. The ANC is in danger & under attack. After then Zinzi Mandela passed away.

Who authorized a hit on Chris Hanis wife thereafter raised the swastika. A NAZI HIT no different than A HIT that I encountered & escaped from it only to come across a swastika being fastened on the front of that building. UKHONGOLOSE is in danger. The matter is not TRIAL READY

Please publish the speedy recovery wishes by Duduzane to Pravin

It is FRANCE that has long list of undesirable persons. The likes of the Rwanda Genocide General & many more who worked close with the FORCES. The ZUMA MATTER is not TRIAL READY. The NDPP has no full knowledge about the matter. Look at the UN REPORT detailing the DOGS OF WAR.

Zuma is a soldier caught up in the WAR against the General Joe Modise. How soon we forget what the ANC is. The forces brought a court order against ZUMA & to tarnish the name of JOE MODISE. The ANC has never charged ZUMA with the ARMS DEAL it the DA COURT ORDER. DIVIDE & RULE

So desperate, it's a shame if he thinks everyone in Free State is a lunatic 😏

i don't think Ntate Ace knows that Mangaung has been shutdown due to lack of service delivery and corruption at this moment

Mangaung is in flame as we speak nje🔥😅

That true, we are going there👍👍

Birds of the same plume perambulate in close proximity. These are two men with strings of corruption allegations shadowing them so it makes sense for Ass Magashule to stick with Zuma.

Now I see why they suspended him,,,, he is not the man we thought he is (experiment failed) or not capable enough to be a SG of the ruling party. He is too much amateur if I may put it in good way.

Thuma mina will panick and move us to level 3 before next week wensday

So Ace wants the whole people of FS, people who still don't have proper service delivery to support someone who's having an ENGLISH BREAKFAST everyday and a huge government pension allowances. This is just ridiculous

😂😂😂😂😂

How embarrassing! Magashule charged for corruption to mobilise for another corrupt Zuma. Their aim was to collapse our country. Sies!!

They must travel few days before, otherwise politics are so dirty, some accidents are pre manufactured.

So basically he owns the people of the free state 🤔🤔🤔

Okay, let me set the record straight. The entire free state will not be attending nonsense. We were not there when they were looting and taking bribes. We have pressing matters to deal with in our province. Maybe his talking about another free state, but not the one in the in SA

AAAACE DOMKOP!

There is a shut down in free state because you left the province in a mess now you want people of free state to help you support a thief wa hlanya bra Ace

😂😂😂😂or late adolescence 🤣🤣🤣

This two deserve only bad things. Such tyrants

Why is he even allowed to speak to the public, and ANC supporters, is he not suspended from all things ANC? Does Cyril not see that Ace is laughing a him? There is not hope for the country while these puppets rule.

Doesn't he know that we might be on the 3rd wave of Covid,Yesterday he showed his Uselessness at its highest degree

Mangaung shutdow?

Wa hlanya, nna as a Free State resident ha a no mpona moo, I'm definitely not going there.

Guys in the Free State must be smart. Take the money and never show up for that circus. Stay at home and buy a six pack with free money.

Ace he think he own Freestate crus he is full of himself da whole parys will go there bcos they see him as God aska tlo tella Ace

Charade.

Only the sheep follows the herd, not knowing they are led to the slaughter house...and I know Ace has a handful of sheep...

This is an insult to the people of free state that they can't think for themselves and that they have nothing to do but waiting for Magasule's bus.

🤣

I guess this means an additional 10 people hungry for KFC will arrive.

How much will he pay us F. Staters? Which hotels are we talking about? Shall we get an opportunity to visit the beach? Nothing for mahala, Acesbestos.

Magodu

It’s the entire Free State for me🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

Turds of a feather stick together that’s Jacob and Acehole

Birds of the same feather flock together.

The obsession with these guys must reduce. We are missing on other important matters that we would like to deal with.
