Jacob Zuma Wants Raymond Zondo Replaced by the Courts

Former President Jacob Zuma has approached the Pretoria High Court for an order to set aside the appointment of Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo to chair the inquiry into State Capture.

Zuma also asked the Courts to order President Cyril Ramaphosa to appoint another person to lead the Commission.

He said it is important that the State Capture must be probed in an impartial manner as he regarded Zondo as not being objective.

In addition Zuma wants the courts to declare null and void any rulings, decisions and directives Zondo made pertaining to himself and his family.

Last year Zuma made an application asking for Zondo to recuse himself from the Commission, unfortunately the application was dismissed.
