Zuma initiated private prosecutions against Ramaphosa on the eve of the ANC‘s national elective conference on 15 December 2022
The Gauteng High Court sitting handed down its judgment in Ramaphosa's application to scupper Zuma's private prosecution on Wednesday.
The case was last in court in January, when Judge Piet Koen, who had been presiding over it up until now, recused himself. Judge Nkosinathi Chili has now taken the reins.
His decision comes on the back of an announcement from Zuma’s legal team late last year that the former president plans on bringing another application for State Advocate Billy Downer’s removal.
The former president arrived at a police station in Pietermaritzburg on Thursday afternoon flanked by his security detail.
