Image: Thuli Dlamini Jacob Zuma's legal team's formal notice of withdrawal of their services in his corruption trial in the Pietermaritzburg high court on Wednesday could be “fortuitous” for the former president. Eric Mabuza filed the notice as Zuma’s attorney of record but did not provide reasons for the withdrawal ahead of the trial which was scheduled to start on May 17. Mabuza didn't respond to queries from SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE.
