Maimane advises Zuma to ask the Guptas for a loan to pay legal costs
13 December 2017
Pretoria - President Jacob Zuma might have to fork out as much as R1.5m in legal fees for delaying the release of the state capture report.
Reacting to a judgment on the issue on Wednesday, which ruled that Zuma be held personally liable for legal costs, DA leader Mmusi Maimane said he expected the costs to be at least R1.5m.
"I think the courts today are putting their foot down, saying Zuma must be personally liable not the taxpayer. It's the right judgment and we welcome it. Zuma must stop delaying South Africans. He must pay personally," he said.
Maimane advised Zuma to ask his friends, the Guptas, for a loan.
