Former president Jacob Zuma will have to be liable for the bill for his own legal costs, not the state, the North Gauteng High Court made a ruling on Thursday.
The judgment was handed down after an application brought by the DA to have an agreement authorising state funding for Zuma’s defence to be set aside.
The ruling may prove to be costly for the former president whose legal battles have cost millions of rands to defend in court.
