Former president under fire over lawyers’ scathing assessment of failed bid for stay of prosecution
Former president Jacob Zuma has come under fire over his lawyers’ scathing assessment of the high court that dismissed his legal bid to permanently stay his corruption prosecution — in a judgment that marks a potential escalation in tensions between the former head of state and the judiciary.
