High court to decide if Zuma must ‘pay back the money’ for his legal fees

The North Gauteng High Court is expected to decide Thursday whether or not former president Jacob Zuma should pay back the R15.3 million the state has already spent on his legal fees to defend allegations of impropriety levelled against him over the years.
The application to have Zuma pay back the money was brought by the Democratic Alliance (DA), which was later joined by the Economic Freedom Fighters. 
Both parties also want the agreement between President Cyril Ramaphosa and his predecessor Zuma to cover his legal costs declared unlawful.
Arguing that the criminal prosecution was against Zuma in his personal capacity, the DA said the state should not be paying for his legal fees.
