NPA Pushes to Continue Zuma’s Corruption Trial Amid New Bid to Remove Prosecutor

NPA Pushes to Continue Zuma’s Corruption Trial Amid New Bid to Remove Prosecutor

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has called on the court to move forward with former President Jacob Zuma’s long-delayed corruption trial, despite his latest legal maneuver to have lead prosecutor Billy Downer removed from the case. In its submission, the NPA accused Zuma of “serial abuse” of the legal system, arguing that his actions are calculated to delay the trial indefinitely.

Zuma’s legal team recently filed a motion alleging bias on the part of Downer, seeking his dismissal from the case. The application is the latest in a series of efforts aimed at stalling proceedings in the high-profile trial, which centers on corruption charges related to a multi-million-rand arms deal from the 1990s.

The NPA has dismissed the allegations of bias as unfounded, asserting that Zuma’s actions represent a deliberate attempt to undermine the judicial process. “These delays are part of a broader strategy to evade accountability,” the NPA stated in court documents, emphasizing the need to prevent procedural abuses from derailing the trial.

Legal analysts have voiced concerns that repeated delays could erode public confidence in the justice system, especially given the trial’s significance in addressing corruption at the highest levels of government. The case, which has faced multiple postponements over the years, remains a focal point in South Africa’s ongoing fight against graft.

The court is expected to hear Zuma’s application to remove Downer in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the NPA has urged the judiciary to take decisive action, warning that further disruptions risk undermining the rule of law and delaying justice for the South African public.

The trial continues to attract widespread attention, with both domestic and international observers closely monitoring the proceedings as a litmus test for South Africa’s commitment to tackling high-level corruption.
