Former president Jacob Zuma's lawyers have told Appeal Court President Mandisa Maya that the deadly July unrest was partly "traceable" to a "perceived" unjust Constitutional Court ruling – and urged her to reconsider the dismissal of his latest corruption prosecution challenges.
"It is no exaggeration to say that this is a matter of utmost public interest involving a threatened failure of justice and potential loss of confidence in our judiciary by Mr Zuma," Zuma’s attorney Bethuell Thusini stated in a reconsideration application addressed to Maya.
