dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-03-20-zuma-loses-2nd-bid-to-have-downer-removed-from-arms-deal-case/
Quick Glance: Zuma Fails Again in Attempt to Remove Downer, Plans Appeal
- Former president Jacob Zuma once more faced defeat in his efforts to have lead prosecutor advocate Billy Downer removed from his arms-deal corruption case.
- During proceedings on Wednesday, Pietermaritzburg high court judge Nkosinathi Chili dismissed Zuma's request, citing insufficient evidence that Downer's involvement could violate Zuma's right to a fair trial.
- Despite the unfavorable outcome, Zuma intends to lodge an appeal and suggests pausing the trial indefinitely to strategize the next steps.
- Following Downer's insistence on setting trial dates promptly, both parties agreed to delay the trial until a 'pretrial conference' scheduled for May 17.
