Zuma lawyers face misconduct complaint over Zondo commission 'walkout'

The story: Former president Jacob Zuma's advocate Muzi Sikhakhane and his legal team are facing a professional misconduct complaint over the "irresponsible and unprofessional" way in which they represented Zuma during his walkout at  the state capture commission of inquiry. 

The details: "We wish for your Council to determine whether the legal team of Mr JG Zuma, led by advocate Muzi Sikhakhane, SC was irresponsible and unprofessional in how they advised and represented their client during his most recent appearance at the Zondo Commission of Inquiry," advocate Rod Solomons, from the SA1st Forum, wrote to the Legal Practice Council last week.

A closer look: According to Solomons, the LPC should consider imposing the "maximum sanction" against Zuma's lawyers for their alleged misconduct.
