Share
Durban - Itâs official, former president Jacob Zuma has dumped his entire legal team, opting to face his corruption trial and other legal challenges on his own.
On Wednesday afternoon SABC News reported that Zuma parted ways with the team but did not give reasons for the split.
However, Independent Media can reveal that the split that affects Advocate Muzi Sikhakhane SC, his instructing and attorney of records, Eric Mabuza, Advocate Thabani Masuku SC and Advocate Mpilo Sikhakhane and Rudolph Baloyi actually took place last week.
The five lawyers have been on Zumaâs side since early 2018, helping him to fight a lawsuit by Derek Hanekom, the failed bid to have his corruption charges squashed, appealing personal cost orders in the state capture commission formation court challenge, among others.
