HE President Zuma's Letter of Appreciation to his Legal Team
10 June 2022
This letter serves to express my appreciation for a milestone achievement against all odds, to successfully secure the certificate to privately prosecute Adv Downer SC.
The accomplishment by my legal team in a hostile and toxic environment necessitated me to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for the diligent work carried out by the legal team under the leadership of Adv Mpofu SC and Adv Masuku SC,
This gives us a unique opportunity for the first time since the commencement of this case, approximately 17 years ago, to examine the misconduct of the state, through maliciously charging me for the famous "Arms Deal "case,
I have always maintained that the trumped-up charges against me are in the main meant to cover-up the real culprits and beneficiaries of the Armament Procurement Programme known as Arms Deal,
