Advocate Dali Mpofu’s arguments on behalf of former president Jacob Zuma saw him top the Twitter trends list on Tuesday.

Mpofu accused the National Prosecuting Authority of being “vultures” and allegedly harassing the former president.Mpofu said state prosecutor Billy Downer, who Zuma wants removed from the case, was eager to prosecute the former president.

He told the court Zuma believed his right to a fair trial would be jeopardised as Downer was not impartial and was driven by a political motive He said Downer was a witness against Zuma when the DA called for a review after the NPA did not want to pursue charges against the former president.“Anyone who reads the affidavit will be clear that the entitlement to even ask for medical examination would only arise after the medical report had been completed,” said Mpofu

“The mere threat to conduct such an examination prematurely with no legal title, that was prosecutorial misconduct of the first order. This issue is not just about privacy, it also has national security implications because we are talking about a former head of state here.” . On social media, many expressed their views on Mpofu’s argument. Some praised him, while others suggested his argument was “weak”Verdict=It's not ripe to submit medical records. Doctors have still not made a view whether H.E Prez Zuma is fit or not to be physically present. But he has waived his rights subject to consultation arrangements with his lawyers during trial.

Maybe his arg sounded abstract for some viewers. Dali always ventures into the road less travelled. I therefore have much respect for him. He is a lawyer not by chance but because he possesses a special intellect. The outcome of a matter is not a measure on how good a lawyer is.
