The Jacob Zuma Foundation has objected to having the Advocate Billy Downer SC recusal hearing argued via virtual platforms, saying this violates the criminal procedure act (CPA) and the Constitution.
Downer has denied all accusations.
Regarding the virtual hearing on Monday which means no parties would be physically present in court, the foundation said the case should be shelved if the situation does not allow for a physical hearing. The foundation even quoted some sections of the CPA which says all cases, unless otherwise, should be heard with all accused in court.
