Zuma’s intended trial date likely to see application for Downer’s recusal
15 May 2021
Lawyers not involved in the matter doubt the wisdom of seeking veteran state prosecutor Billy Downer’s recusal, suggesting it is highly unlikely to succeed and will be read as a delaying tactic.
Counsel for Jacob Zuma will on Monday move for the recusal of veteran state prosecutor Billie Downer from the arms deal fraud and corruption case that has haunted the former president for 17 years.
This is reliably understood to be the strategy of the only advocate currently on brief for Zuma, Thabani Masuku, following the withdrawal of his lawyers, attorney of record Eric Mabuza and senior counsel Muzi Sikhakhane last month.

Judge Piet Koen has been confirmed as the judicial officer who will determine whether former president Jacob Zuma and French arms company Thales are guilty of corruption.
Pietermaritzburg High Court manager Mbusowezwe Zondi told News24 on Thursday afternoon that Koen, who has also served as an acting judge in the Supreme Court of Appeal, has been appointed as the presiding judge in the long-awaited Zuma matter, which is scheduled to start on Monday.
At this stage, it is unclear whether the trial will actually go ahead, as Zuma s former lawyers resigned last month, reportedly because of undisclosed ethical reasons .
