Durban – Almost two weeks after locking horns with the Zondo commission which is probing allegations of state capture, former president Jacob Zuma returns to the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Tuesday to fight graft charges.
Shaik was convicted for bribing Zuma and he was also instrumental in asking Thales to pay an annual bribe of R500 000 to Zuma.However, in an unexpected turn, the state kept on dithering until September 2006 when the late Pietermaritzburg High Court judge, Qedusizi Msimang, threw the case out of court.
Mpshe would later in April 2009 withdraw the charges after receiving representations from Zuma’s lawyers who had submitted the infamous tapes which sought to prove that there was political manipulation of the case. The NPA delayed reinstating the charges while giving Zuma a chance to make fresh legal representations. It was only in 2018, a few days after he was ousted as state president that he was charged again.
Lock the door and throw away the keys. He should've been in jail many moons ago.. His playing for time, and an easy way out, 'Death by old age, while playing with, the next 'child-wife''

Start arms deal trial next week, Jacob Zuma challenges NPA“It is extremely prejudicial to [former] president Zuma for the prosecution to again fail to proceed with their prosecution when they have repeatedly claimed they have a case against [former] president Zuma and are ready to proceed with it.” When always NPA wanna prosecute Jacob Zuma there will be a xenophobic violence in a different city's of SA mainly in Johannesburg. Just go and study the previous xenophobic violence how they happened. All if them they where politically motivated for a purpose of agenda shifting. 🤔🤷🏽 2019/12 NPA was ready for trial, 2020 NPA not ready for trial.
