Zuma takes another legal tilt at Zondo - The former president is asking the Pretoria high court to declare Zondo’s tenure as chairman of the commission of inquiry unlawful and to order Ramaphosa to appoint a new chair
He also asks the court to order President Cyril Ramaphosa to appoint somebody else to head the commission, arguing that it was crucial that state capture be probed in an impartial manner.
As part of the amended motion, Zuma is also asking that the court declare null and void any “rulings, decisions and directives” Zondo made pertaining to himself and his family. He argues that no commission of inquiry has ever sought direct recourse to the highest court in the country to enforce the Act, and claims this meant that he was “deprived of equality before the law”.
