Pietermaritzburg – The Pietermaritzburg High Court on Wednesday dismissed the private prosecution brought by former president Jacob Zuma against prosecutor Advocate Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan.
Zuma accuses Advocate Downer of leaking confidential medical information to Maughan in breach of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) Act.
Both have brought applications to have the summons they were served reviewed and set aside.
Advocate Downer is also a prosecutor in the corruption court matter against Zuma.
