Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla has reacted to the Pietermaritzburg high court setting aside former president Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution of senior state advocate Billy Downer and News24 journalist Karyn Maughan.
Zuma alleged they had contravened the National Prosecuting Authority Act in that Downer leaked his confidential medical records to Maughan before his application for a postponement of his arms deal-related corruption trial on medical grounds.
Zuma-Sambudla was accused last year of inciting violence against Maughan after the journalist was served a summons. “It is disheartening to note a tweet made by Zuma’s daughter, Dudu Zuma-Sambudla, which appears to incite violence against Maughan,” said the South African National Editors' Forum at the time.
It is also disheartening to note a tweet made by Zuma’s daughter, Dudu Zuma-Sambudla, which appears to incite violence against Maughan.
