Judgment on the removal of Jacob Zuma's private prosecution case from the roll

Zuma is charging Downer, who is the lead prosecutor in his arms deal corruption case and Maughan, with illegally leaking a doctor's letter to the media.

In 2023, the matter was remanded while Zuma was appealing 2 court orders Downer and Maughan had obtained to stop the case. The first declared the private prosecution invalid. The second was an interdict to enforce the first order.

Zuma has lost appeals against the enforcement order in both the Supreme Court of Appeal and the Constitutional Court.
However, his legal team says they still intend to go to the Constitutional Court to appeal the order that the private prosecution is invalid.

Advocate Nqaba Buthelezi for Zuma, has asked for a further postponement. However, Maughan's advocate - Ben Winks - has told the court that the private prosecution has come to the end of the road and must be struck off the roll.
