Zuma to appeal against Mauritian decision
ANC president Jacob Zuma has confirmed he will appeal against the judgment of the Mauritian Supreme Court denying his intervention in an application to prevent the NPA from obtaining original evidence in that country.
According to a Beeld report, Zuma's attorney, Mike Hulley, said he had instructed an advocate to begin an appeal application yesterday morning. 'I'm not sure what the appeal laws are in that country, so I don't know how much time we've got. But we will be in time,' Hulley said. North West University law academic Tom Coetzee said Zuma's right to appeal was indisputable, but expressed concern about whether the motivation for the appeal was purely on legal grounds. 'If the appeal process turns out to be a postponement technique, it is a disgrace,' he said. Full Beeld report
