JUDGEMENT in the private prosecution of President Cyril Ramaphosa by former president Jacob Zuma will this morning Monday, January 16 be delivered.
This comes amid reports that the president has cancelled his trip to the annual investment gathering in Davos, Switzerland.
Ramaphosa last week launched an urgent bid to have a private prosecution by Zuma to be dismissed, arguing that his appearance will lead to him suffering irreparable damage.
The president has also argued that the prosecution by his predecessor was unlawful and the certificate to privately prosecute him did not allow for it.

However, Zuma's lawyers have argued that the private certificate does cover him and Ramaphosa should argue his case in the criminal case court and not in the civil matter.
Ramaphosa has been summoned to appear in the criminal matter this Thursday and Zuma's lawyers have argued that his urgent application was an attempt to avoid being in the dock.
The South Gauteng High Court in Joburg will this morning deliver the judgment.
