Zuma is expected to appear before Peter's Maritzberg Court next week, Tuesday. In a court order dated 4th of August, Cohen said the hearing will be conducted in open court at the High Court of Peter Maritzberg. Zuma's lawyer had been adamant fighting for him to appear in court, claiming it was a violation to virtually appear for the hearing.
