Zuma ordered to pay costs in State capture bid

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The High court in Pretoria has ruled that President Jacob Zuma must be held personally liable for the legal costs in the litigation costs for trying to stop the release of the State of Capture report.

Judge President Dunstan Mlambo says President Zuma’s litigation was a disregard of the office of the Public Protector.

Judgment in President Zuma’s review application and setting aside of State of Capture report will be delivered shortly.

President Zuma wanted the report sent back to the Public Protector’s office for re-investigation.

He also objected to the outcomes of the report, saying it was not based on factual findings and rushed.

At the hearing last month, Zuma’s legal team abandoned his request that the matter be referred to the Public Protector for further investigation.
