The virtual sitting where the lawyers of former President Jacob Zuma are asking Pietermaritzburg high court judge Piet Koen to postpone hearing his application where he wants to force NPA’s Adv Billy Downer SC out of his corruption trial is under way with the police and army forming a security ring around the court.
Zuma’s lawyers are expected to file an application to seek another postponement as the former head of state is in an undisclosed hospital. Judge Koen allowed Zuma and his legal team to be in court, setting the stage for Zuma’s supporters to be outside the high court.
However, things started to change on Friday morning when the Department of Correctional Services announced that Zuma had been hospitalised in order to undergo a routine medical check-up by military health services.
It was hoped that the check-up would be quick and Zuma would be back in Estcourt and ready to make the trip to Pietermaritzburg.
