Former president Jacob Zuma’s medical report is expected to be submitted to the High Court sitting in Pietermaritzburg next Friday.
The State will also conduct its own medical assessment on Zuma.
Prosecutor Advocate Wim Trengove said the doctor’s letter is vague and doesn’t identify the medical condition Zuma is suffering from.
Legal expert Michael Osborne said it’s unusual that the State has asked to appoint a medical practitioner to examine and assess Zuma’s medical condition.
“This is a little unusual and what it seems to indicate is a certain amount of skepticism on the part of the state, which may seek to argue this is another delaying tactic design to avoid the commencement or postponement of the trial indefinitely,” Osborne said.
The matter is back in court on 9 September.
