Jacob Zuma’s lawyers believe a letter from Shaun Abrahams Yolisa Matakata shows he was concerned about potential undue political interference in the case against the former president

South Africa Latest News, South Africa Headlines

Former National Prosecuting Authority boss Shaun Abrahams has confirmed that he is the author of the letter former president Jacob Zuma’s lawyers will on Friday morning fight to have admitted as evidence in his permanent stay of prosecution application.

While judge Bhekisisa Mnguni on Thursday urged the state and defence to “find each other” over the status of the letter, it appears that the state is standing firm that Zuma’s lawyers must formally apply for it to be admitted into evidence. Sooklal has publicly confirmed that he will be a state witness against Zuma and Thales, should the case against the pair proceed.

Zuma’s advocate, Muzi Sikhakhane, on Thursday contended that he had a letter, emanating from the NPA, that specifically raised concerns about the role that former justice minister Penuell Maduna allegedly played in the dropping of charges against Thales, which resulted in the arms company not being charged with Zuma’s former financial adviser Schabir Shaik.

Jacob Zuma says his case is different🔒 ANALYSIS: A permanent stay of prosecution is underpinned by the right to a fair trial, which includes the right of an accused person “to have their trial begin and conclude without an unreasonable delay”. Zuma insisted from the beginning that he wanted to 'clear' his name, so if he were to be granted a stay of prosecution, how does that clear his name?🙅🙅🙅 They claim the witness has died, did they were asked to produce a proof of death to substantiate their claim?
