A South African court has dismissed former President Jacob Zuma’s attempt to remove the prosecutor from his upcoming corruption trial.
Zuma’s lawyers attempted to overturn a previous judgment that denied his request for the prosecutor to drop his corruption prosecution.

In an interview with News Central, Benedict Phiri, a South African legal analyst, hailed the court’s decision as ‘thorough and good.”
