Advocate Muzi Sikhakhane argued Zuma has been treated unfairly due to alleged bias.

Meanwhile, Zuma has come out in support of embattled eThekwini mayor - Zandile Gumede. 


The mayor was attested on fraud and corruption charges last week in connection with a multi-million Rand DSW tender, dating back to 2016. 


Zuma tweeted that he hopes the charges against her are not politically motivated. The former President said Gumede must remain strong.
