A Joburg law firm has become the latest firm to withdraw from representing former President Jacob Zuma.
Kgoroeadira Mudau Inc had been representing Zuma in his appeal against a personal costs order passed against him by the High Court in Pretoria in 2017.
The firm had been appointed in December.
Director Rapulane Kgoroeadira on Sunday said: “It’s a matter that deals with a personal cost order. The matter is between the former president and the former Public Protector and others.”
Kgoroeadira did not give a reason for their withdrawal when asked: “I am not going to discuss the reasons for the withdrawal.”

Johannesburg - Another law firm has dumped former president Jacob Zuma ahead of his Constitutional Court appeal of the personal costs order granted against him by the North Gauteng High Court in December 2017.
A full bench of the high court – Gauteng Judge President Dunstan Mlambo, Judges Phillip Boruchowitz and Wendy Hughes – ordered Zuma to pay the legal costs in his personal capacity during his unsuccessful bid to have ex-Public Protector Thuli Madonsela s “State of Capture” report reviewed and set aside.
Johannesburg-based Kgoroeadira Mudau Inc., which Zuma appointed only in December, has informed the apex court that it is withdrawing from representing the former president.
