Former president said his grounds 'cry out for adjudication'
Senior state prosecutor Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan were spared the indignity of sitting in the dock on Wednesday when former president Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution against them was back in court.
Case adjourned to April next year to finalise the former president’s appeals against rulings that his case is an abuse, though the parties won’t need to be in court
Former president Jacob Zuma has insisted that state prosecutor Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan appear in court in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday in his private prosecution of them.
This is the second attempt to remove Downer. The first, in a special plea, was rejected by former trial judge Piet Koen.
