The judicial review application on the remedial action in former public protector Thuli Madonsela’s state capture report puts its implementation on hold, President Jacob Zuma argued in court papers on Monday. The president is opposing an application by the DA seeking to force him to comply with the remedial action in Madonsela’s report since he did not apply for a stay of execution before he took it on judicial review. Zuma has lodged a conditional counter application asking the court to give him the opportunity to obtain a stay by court order if it found that one was needed. “No prejudice would be suffered by any of the parties to this application if the relief is granted as the review application is provisionally set to be heard in October,” he said. Zuma said the conditional counter application was only necessary if the court found a stay of the implementation of the remedial action was required.
