Billy Downer Biography

Billy Downer is one of the most popular and richest Advocate who was born on November 20, 1956 in Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa.

Downer is a career civil servant who has largely focused on prosecuting corruption and other high-profile commercial crimes cases. He is currently seized with the prosecution of the former President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma on charges of racketeering, money laundering, fraud and corruption. The allegations against the former President relate to a government arms procurement deal, dating back to 1999. In 2005, Downer secured the conviction of the businessman financial advisor of Jacob Zuma, Schabir Shaik, also in relation to the said arms deal. Downer’s investigations in that matter had led to the discovery of a handwritten encrypted fax, in French, promising an amount of R500,000 per annum to ‘JZ’ until payment of the African Defence Systems dividends, which was key to securing the conviction of Shaik on two counts of corruption and one count of fraud. The prosecution of Zuma himself has, however, been mired for years, with Zuma having been accused of using Stalingrad tactics to evade his day in court. Zuma is now set to go on trial in 2020.

Another notable case that was prosecuted by Downer was the corruption matter of former Western Cape Provincial Police Commissioner, Arno Lamoer. Lamoer was found guilty in early 2018.
