There was no ulterior purpose in the timing of former president Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution against President Cyril Ramaphosa. It was “purely fortuitous and coincidental,” said Zuma in court papers on Friday.
There was no ulterior purpose in the timing of Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution against President Cyril Ramaphosa. It was “purely fortuitous and coincidental,” said Zuma in court papers on Friday.
Ramaphosa ultimately wants the Johannesburg high court to set aside the prosecution as unconstitutional and unlawful. In the meantime he has asked — urgently next week — for an interdict to prevent any “further steps” in pursuing the prosecution and to excuse his appearance in the criminal court as per Zuma’s summons.
Zuma said: “My sole intention is to secure a conviction and punishment of the applicant ... Nothing will deter me, as the victim, from the ultimate goal of the attainment of justice against all those who have criminally participated, directly or indirectly, in my deliberate humiliation at the hands of my prosecutors turned persecutors.”
