Legal analyst Melusi Kulu says the latest court ruling against former President Jacob Zuma marks a significant turning point in how South Africa handles unlawful state-funded legal expenses.
On Thursday, Justice Anthony Millar ruled that Zuma must settle R29 million within 60 days or face having his assets seized.
His ruling also makes it clear that a presidential pension can be legally attached because it falls under the Public Office Payers Act.
