Mpofu Struggles in Court as Zuma’s Team Fails to Prove Judge’s Bias

Advocate Dali Mpofu faced intense scrutiny in court this week while defending former President Jacob Zuma’s request for the recusal of a judge in a high-stakes case involving Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli. The lawsuit, brought by Sihle Zikalala and others, challenges Zuma’s contentious appointment of Dan Mchunu as acting ANC provincial secretary.

Mpofu argued that the presiding judge had displayed apparent bias, denying Zuma a fair trial. However, he struggled to provide concrete evidence of prejudice or a conflict of interest, drawing skepticism from the bench. Legal observers noted that Mpofu relied heavily on Zuma’s historical tensions with the judiciary rather than specific misconduct in this case.

The court emphasized that “mere suspicion” of bias is insufficient, demanding factual proof—a high legal threshold. Professor Thulisile Madonsela, a legal analyst, explained, “A judge’s recusal requires proven partiality or direct interest, not just political narratives.”

The case adds to Zuma’s mounting legal battles, including his uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party’s disputes with the ANC and its challenge to the May 29 election results. Critics accuse Zuma’s team of using recusal bids to delay proceedings and erode trust in the judiciary.

With the court expected to rule soon on the recusal request, the outcome could deepen divisions in KZN’s volatile political arena, where Zuma’s defiance of ANC leadership continues to fuel instability.
