Advocate Dali Mpofu represents former President Jacob Zuma in the private prosecution of Billy Downer and Karyn Maughan in the Pietermaritzburg high court. Picture: SUPPLIED
He claims they are accomplices in what he says was the leak of the medical record it was handed to court by the state and Zuma’s own attorney in an application for a postponement of the trial.Maughan and Downer are arguing in the Pietermaritzburg high court before a full bench of three judges that the summons they were served last year must be set aside. They say the charges are baseless and the private prosecution is motivated by ulterior purposes.
Mpofu said Zuma had “correctly” entered a special plea challenging the “title” of Downer to prosecute him at the start of his criminal trial. Mpofu said the National Prosecuting Authority Act, which prohibits the disclosure by a prosecutor of any information or document without authority from the national director of public prosecutions or someone authorised by her, was an “elementary piece of legislation”.
That is exactly the behavior that Zuma is accusing Downer of. Can't make this sh!t up
Scandelous statement by Mpofu
Why don't they have a law against stupidity, arrogance and pure incompetence.. Mpufo the first to be convicted and sentenced.. finish and klaar
It’s like a stand up comedian doing a road show.
Then lots of people must go to jail. Hundreds of people found guilty, but not in jail.
