The sudden hospitalisation of former president Jacob Zuma has put another spanner in the works over his appearance before the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
Zuma’s lawyers will now file an application to urge the High Court to postpone the hearing until he is fit to appear in court in person.
Last week Zuma scored a victory in the same court when presiding Judge Piet Koen ruled that the hearing, where the former ANC leader wants the National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA) advocate Billy Downer SC not to lead his arms deal corruption prosecution, should be heard in person instead of using virtual platforms.
