Jacob Zuma not responsible for delays, says Dali Mpofu

Former president Jacob Zuma’s legal team says their client shouldn’t be blamed for the delays in his corruption trial.

Advocate Dali Mpofu has again blamed the prosecution for the delays.

The High Court in Pietermaritzburg has heard Zuma’s application for leave to appeal Judge Piet Koen’s decision.

This was to dismiss Zuma’s special plea to remove Advocate Billy Downer from prosecuting in his trial.

Zuma’s trial date has been set for the 11 April this year.

But it could be affected by ongoing appeals processes.
