LEGAL representatives of Jacob Zuma say the former president will not be appearing at the State Capture Commission on Monday at 10am as scheduled.
His lawyer Eric Mabuza however cautioned in a statement that Zuma’s non-appearance should not be construed to suggest any defiance of a legal process.
Mabuza said the commission was aware that the review application which Zuma has instituted to set aside the refusal by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo to recuse himself from hearing matters concerning him and his family was yet to be determined by the court.
He said the summons issued for Zuma to appear on 15 to 19 February is irregular, and not in line with the Fourth Order of the Constitutional Court judgment of 28 January 2021.
Mabuza wrote to Zondo just hours before Zuma was expected to appear.
