The private prosecution stems from Zuma's ongoing legal battles.
The Supreme Court of Appeal on Friday unanimously dismisses former president Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution appeal against Adv Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan.
The SCA’s decision upholds the High Court’s ruling that Zuma’s private prosecution was an abuse of the legal process. This ruling narrows the scope of the appeal and stands until set aside by a court with competent jurisdiction. “This decision limits the scope of the appeal and will remain in effect until reversed by a court of competent jurisdiction,” the order reads.
