Zuma Corruption Case | Zuma to hear reasons why Judge dismissed recusal bid against Downer

Former President Jacob Zuma is expected to hear the reasons behind Judge Nkosinathi Chili's decision to dismiss his bid for the recusal of lead prosecutor Advocate Billy Downer in his ongoing corruption case.
Zuma's legal team requested these reasons ahead of their planned application for leave to appeal the judgment made in March.
Initially, the judge intended to provide his reasoning at the conclusion of the trial, but Zuma's team argued for an earlier disclosure.
Zuma, along with French arms company Thales, faces charges of fraud and corruption related to South Africa's controversial arms deal from the 1990s.
