Ramaphosa says Zuma undermined his own case

Ramaphosa says Zuma undermined his own case - The president said Zuma’s defence of his private prosecution bid relied on political innuendo but missed the legal argument

The report became part of the public court record when Zuma’s lawyers filed it without claiming confidentiality.

“It is practically impossible that I could have committed the crime of accessory after the fact or defeating the ends of justice on 9 August 2021, before the request was made to me to intervene,” he said. The result was that the summons was issued without a certificate “that relates to me and a charge against me. The summons and the private prosecution are invalid for this reason alone.”
