News | The Pietermaritzburg High Court has issued a warrant of arrest for former president Jacob Zuma for his failure to appear before court in relation to the arms deal case, by JKwritingz

It was at the request of the National Prosecuting Authority who are now taking a tough stance on Zuma’s continued failure to appear before court in the arms deal case that the court granted the warrant of arrest.

He labelled the medical certificate provided as “hearsay evidence” that was not accepted by the state. Zuma’s lawyer Daniel Mantsha challenged this request, saying it was not uncommon that Zuma, at his advanced age, would experience health complications and asked the court to take these factors into consideration.He said the NPA’s request showed differential treatment towards his client.
