President Cyril Ramaphosa’s legal counsel Ngwako Maenetje, says former president Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution of the current head of state is for ulterior purposes.
Zuma returned to the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg yesterday in his attempt to privately prosecute Ramaphosa.
Zuma accuses Ramaphosa of being an accessory after the fact following the alleged leaking of his personal medical records.
Maenetje argues that courts are constitutionally mandated to shield applicants, in this case, it is Ramaphosa.
