Durban - Former President Jacob Zuma has scored a court victory after Pietermaritzburg High Court Judge Piet Koen on Wednesday morning ruled that his application against the prosecutor Advocate Billy Downer be heard in person.
Zuma and his lawyers are arguing that Downer has acted in a legally and politically compromising manner, thus rendering himself unfit to give the former head of state a fair trial. However, Judge Koen ruled that all parties should come to court instead of having a virtual hearing which Zuma and his lawyers argued was prejudicial to him.
