Zuma legal fees: Dismiss DA case on basis of undue delay – former president's lawyers argue
7 November 2018
The North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria should dismiss the DA's application to set aside the decision made by the office of the state attorney to fund former president Jacob Zuma's legal fees, Zuma's lawyers argued on Tuesday.
Advocate Thabani Masuku, representing Zuma, on Tuesday, told a full Bench that the DA failed to bring the case as far back as 2008.
"Dismiss the DA's case on the basis of undue delay," he said.
Masuku said it was clear that the DA knew that the legal costs for Zuma were paid by the state as far back as September 2008.
