Ramaphosa is seeking a final interdict that will prevent his predecessor from pursuing a private prosecution against him now or in the future. In the heads of argument filed before the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, Zuma submits that the prayer for a final interdict is a non-starter, arguing that Ramaphosa has “countless alternative remedies” either before the civil court or before the criminal court itself.Zuma is attempting to haul Ramaphosa to the criminal court over the alleged leak of his health records in his corruption trial.
The President, however, has previously clarified that he reported the matter to the Minister of Justice to report to the Legal Practice Council . The pair will see the final round of their legal showdown play out in the Gauteng High Court on May 17 and 18.Share article
