AS IT HAPPENED: Zuma's litigation was reckless - #StateCapture judgment
2017-12-13 10:00
The North Gauteng High Court has ruled that President Jacob Zuma must fulfil the remedial actions of the Public Protector as described in the State of Capture report.
Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's recommended remedial actions
after her investigation into state capture were wise, necessary,
rational and appropriate, the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria found
on Wednesday.
Statement from the new party headed by former ANC MP Makhosi
Khoza
The African Democratic Change is of the
firm belief that President Jacob Zuma should face the full might of the law.
We
note the President missed his deadline to make representations on why he should
not be prosecuted for corruption.
However, we believe that South Africa and its
citizens deserve to see the judicial system work in their interest.

This judgment, coupled by the #Nxasana ruling, must surely be reason to impeach Zuma. Our president can no longer exercise his constitutional duties. #StateCapture@TeamNews24

that they made," says Madonsela

Mlambo dealing with Zuma's arguments on legal parameters. President argued he does not oppose PP findings. Zuma has said he accepts there should be a judicial commission of inquiry. #StateCapture@TeamNews24
Mlambo on Zuma's argument that new PP Mkhwebane should have continued the probe: it would have taken her long time to familiarise. Rejects. MADONSELA 7 - ZUMA 0. @TeamNews24#StateCapture
#StateCapture Mlambo says Zuma has a clear interest in the outcome of the inquiry, so any decision made on appointment of judge could be perceived as biased @TeamNews24
Mlambo rejects Zuma's argument that it's unlawful for Chief Justice to appoint a judge for commission of inquiry. MADONSELA 5 - ZUMA 0. @TeamNews24#StateCapture
Mlambo: Much force in argument that Zuma should recuse himself from decision to appoint judge for inquiry. To remove all perception of bias. #StateCapture@TeamNews24
President's insistence of appointing the judge in at odds
with the legal principle of recusal, says Judge Mlambo

Mlambo: PP foresaw that process may be compromised if Zuma selected judge to lead inquiry. Public perception is important too. Zuma is implicated, has clear interest in outcome. #StateCapture@TeamNews24
