Judge Piet Koen is expected to hand down judgment in the legal fight where Jacob Zuma wants NPA senior prosecutor Billy Downer removed from his corruption trial.
As a result, on Thursday last week, Zuma upped the ante in his fight against Downer and pressed two criminal charges at the Pietermaritzburg Police Station, claiming Downer deliberately leaked the confidential records to a certain journalist.
“The purpose of bringing the information contained in this affidavit to the attention of the police, is to initiate a process which must necessarily lead to the prosecution of the suspects, failing which a certificate to the contrary must be duly issued by the National Director of Public Prosecutions, who is, incidentally, the person ultimately responsible for the deployment of the suspects.
With most legal experts predicting that the high court will not give Zuma the nod, the Jacob Zuma Foundation, of which he is a patron, said he will not be physically present in court when Koen hands down the judgment.
