Counsel for former President Jacob Zuma, Advocate Thabani Masuku, says the High Court in Pretoria should reinterpret the fairness of orders compelling Zuma to repay approximately R28 million to the state.
The money was applied for by the Presidency and approved by the State Attorney for Zumas private legal fees for over 20 years.
Following a review by the Democratic Alliance and the Economic Freedom Fighters EFF of the practice, the High Court in December 2018 and the Supreme Court in April 2021 ruled that Zuma must be made to pay.
