The full bench of the Johannesburg High Court delivered its judgment on president Cyril Ramaphosa urgent interdict application against former president Jacob Zuma on Monday.The Jacob Zuma Foundation has expressed its dissatisfaction with the South Gauteng High Court’s decision to grant Ramaphosa an urgent interim interdict private prosecution by Zuma.

The foundation has long held misgivings about the country’s justice system, and this decision has provided them with a sense of vindication. The former president alleges state prosecutor Billy Downer and a journalist Karyn Maughan, leaked his medical records, which were used as evidence in his arms deal corruption deal.

The Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi said the high court “misdirected itself”, and that Zuma is consulting his lawyers on the way forward.”We want to put it on the record that justice has not been served. What we have here is preferential treatment, that is what has happened. The foundation indeed does feel vindicated that all of a sudden at the eleventh hour that upgrading from one judge to a full bench was suspicious. So now we see why this is”. Manyi said.
