Court dismisses Jacob Zuma’s leave to appeal

Zuma and French arms company Thales were appealing the decision to dismiss their application for a permanent stay of prosecution.
Advocate Muzi Sikhakhane argued last Friday that in rejecting Zuma’s bid for a permanent stay of prosecution, three KwaZulu-Natal judges had ignored “the prejudicial conduct of the National Prosecuting Authority” towards him.
Judgment was reserved for a decision. This is a developing story.
