“Without that evidence, this the court cannot do anything else but issue a warrant of arrest,” she said. He stands accused of receiving multiple bribes and gifts from his former financial adviser, Schabir Shaik, in exchange for his interventions and assistance with Shaik’s business interests. It is the state’s case that Shaik facilitated a R500,000/year bribe for Zuma from French arms company Thales in exchange for the former president’s “political protection” from any investigation into the deal.

She said the document titled “medical confidential” and marked as a pharmacy copy had a military hospital stamp, but no date and section B of the report had an abbreviation “HCP”, which Mantsha could not explain.

Eish! The wheels turn slowly, but they do turn!

I he is arrested he must be kept in jail till his hearing in court. That is what happens with Joe citizen.

Does this mean the cops are going to arrest him and take him to the Commission ASAP? Or will it (again) delay his appearance and give him time to challenge it in court?

Who is going to arrest him? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
