Judge Pillay is 'friends with Gordhans and Hanekoms' - Edward Zuma
6 February 2020
Judge Dhaya Pillay is "biased" against former president Jacob Zuma because she is "good friends" with Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan and ANC national executive committee member Derek Hanekom and their families.
This is according to Zuma's son, Edward Zuma, who made this allegation in an interview on eNCA on Thursday morning.
On Tuesday, News24 reported that the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg issued a warrant of arrest after the former president failed to appear for his fraud and corruption case.
His legal team told the court he was too ill to attend and submitted a sick note. Pillay questioned the strength of the proof presented to court by Zuma's lawyer. Pillay said it appeared the dates on the document had been altered.
