Former president Jacob Zuma plans to attend the private prosecution of advocate Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan in the Pietermaritzburg high court on Monday.
The Jacob Zuma Foundation posted on social media site Twitter that Zuma — “a free man” — will be there in person.
Zuma has summonsed Maughan, a News24 journalist, and Downer, lead prosecutor in his corruption and fraud trial, to appear in the Pietermaritzburg high court where he intends on privately prosecuting them on allegations that Downer leaked his confidential medical documents to Maughan.
Maughan has launched an urgent application to set aside the summons. She said the summons was a “gross abuse of court process”, obtained for ulterior purposes of intimidating and harassing her and preventing her from doing her job and reporting on his arms deal trial.
