Zuma goes ahead with private case against Ramaphosa─── 06:20 Thu, 22 Dec 2022
Former President Jacob Zuma is pressing ahead with his case against President Cyril Ramaphosa and expects to see the president in court next month.
Zuma wants the president prosecuted for being an accessory to the crimes that he alleges were committed by state advocate Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan.
He announced his move on the eve of the ANC's national conference last week.
The former president was given until Wednesday, 21 December 2022, to withdraw his summons against Ramaphosa, which the state attorney called void and an abuse of legal processes.
But the Jacob Zuma Foundation confirmed that the former president is not backing down.
On social media, they stated that the extension was merely to address side issues and that the case was set down for 19 January 2023.
