Kemp J Kemp Biography – Kemp J Kemp Wiki

Kemp J Kemp was a Senior advocate and former legal representative of former president Jacob Zuma. Kemp defended Zuma during his 2006 rape trial, and was part of Zuma’s legal team tackling 16 corruption, money laundering, and fraud charges against the former president. Kemp pulled out of Zuma’s legal team in 2018 after the former president ran out of money to pay his lawyers, according to eNCA. President Cyril Ramaphosa revealed in several parliamentary replies that the state spent R15.3 million on Zuma’s legal fees, but experts said it was likely to be more with most senior advocates charging R50,000 a day.

He completed an LLB (cum laude) at the University of Port Elizabeth and then went on to obtain a doctorate in law. He was a member of the Society of Advocates of KwaZulu-Natal.
