KZN ANC slams Judge Dhaya Pillay for issuing Zuma arrest warrant
Durban - The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has lashed out at the Pietermaritzburg High Court over its decision to issue a warrant of arrest to former president Jacob Zuma saying that it was irrational. This after the court rejected Zuma’s legal teams explanation for his absence. They told the court that Zuma was unable to attend the start of his corruption trial on Tuesday due to ill health.
High Court judge Dhaya Pillay rejected a sick note that had been handed in by Zuma's legal representatives and issued a warrant of arrest. The warrant has been stayed until his next appearence in May. The party’s provincial secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli pulled no punches on Wednesday at the ANC’s provincial headquarters as he lambasted both Pillay and Zuma’s lawyer Dan Mantsha for failing to “engage each other constructively” in a manner that showed that they all cared about Zuma not being well.
