A Johannesburg attorney, Yusuf Dockrat, has said there was no impropriety or pressure involved in his meeting with the woman who has accused Jacob Zuma of rape.

He told the Johannesburg High Court that he and the woman had met at the request of KwaZulu-Natal Finance MEC Zweli Mkhize. Mkhize had paid him for the meeting, organised by former Sunday Times journalist Ranjeni Munusamy.

Dockrat said that contrary to reports last year, there had been nothing untoward nor had any pressure been exerted on the complainant. Moreover, the meeting had been partially at the request of the complainant's mother who also wanted to sort out the "rape matter".

Dockrat conceded, however, to State prosecutor Charin de Beer that Zuma's accuser had shown no interest in coming to an agreement whatsoever.

The court was also presented with a complex account of the phone records of the main parties involved in the case.

The records included those of Zuma, the complainant, her mother, Mkhize, the complainant's best friend, Dockrat and Munusamy.

Nine calls were made on November 9 from Zuma's phone to the complainant. She has testified that after the alleged rape Zuma tried to set up a meeting with her.

Before the alleged rape there were 54 SMS messages from the complainant to Zuma, from the beginning of September to November 2. There were five phone contacts from Zuma to the complainant before November 2.

In the early hours of November 3, a number of contacts were made from the complainant's phone.

Yesterday Kemp J Kemp SC said he would apply for the inadmissibility of the evidence of Commissioner Norman Taioe after the top Gauteng police detective admitted to not following basic police procedure.

Taioe conceded he had not read Zuma his rights when he visited the house where the alleged rape took place.

He had also omitted from his statement a potentially crucial exchange on the location of the alleged rape. He had not completed the necessary form, and it was not in his report, only in consulting notes, which he brought to court yesterday.

Kemp accused Taioe of trying to trap Zuma by arriving at the house and asking him to point out the "alleged crime scene".

The woman who has accused Zuma of raping her on November 2 last year, has told the court it took place in the guest room, while Kemp says that Zuma will say they had consensual sex in his bedroom.

Kemp asked if Taioe had expected Zuma to point anything out to him on that day, and whether he was aware of the requirements for admissible pointing out, and the procedures and safeguards relating to this.

Taioe said it had not been necessary for him to warn Zuma as he had been accompanied by his lawyer Michael Hulley throughout.

"His lawyer should have advised him what to say to us, where to show us," said Taioe.

Kemp asked why he did not just ask where the guest room was, where the complainant had slept.

Taioe said it was his prerogative to pose questions as he chose.

He told the court it had "slipped my mind" not to add into the official record that Zuma had pointed out the alleged crime scene when asked to do so.

Taioe also insisted that he believed that the warning Zuma had received at a previous consultation with police at Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal was still valid at the Johannesburg visit.

Kemp put it to Taioe that events did not happen as he had testified and Hulley would testify that he had never asked for the alleged crime scene.

Taioe admitted he was pro-Zuma but said he had not demonstrated this in any way.

Kemp told Judge Willem van der Merwe that he might argue at the end of the trial for the witness's testimony to be ruled inadmissible. Judge Van der Merwe agreed to this.
