“Zuma seeks this extraordinary remedy on account of the inordinate delay, trial prejudice and the flagrant abuse of power by the NPA ... the effect of which has been the violation of Zuma’s constitutional rights, in particular the right to a fair trial,” his lawyers state in court documents. Lead Zuma prosecutor Billy Downer has vehemently denied that the prosecution had been fatally compromised by questionable NPA decisions and undue delay.

The former president is adamant that he should have been put on trial with his former financial adviser Schabir Shaik, who was convicted in 2005 of keeping him on a corrupt retainer to do his bidding. Shaik was also found guilty of facilitating a R500,000 a year bribe for Zuma from French arms company Thales, in exchange for his protection from any potential arms deal investigation.

What Jacob Zuma meant and why he was right about nuclearZuma’s comments that nuclear would have saved us from our electricity crisis refer to the programme of about a decade ago, which would have delivered its first power by 2018, writes Des Muller 10GW in 10 years....what non-sense. Coal (Medupi and Kusile) which is much simpler has taken us far longer. Local labour rates are not as productive as overseas - many issues why this would never have happened. Pity BD has to publish rubbish pedaling an individuals p agenda Really? He was never right about anything! 1. 10 GW in 10 years was always going to be impossible 2. The costs were unaffordable even back then 3. Both Westinghouse and Areva went bust in recent years.

To vote ANC or not: 'Only Jacob Zuma decides for Nkandla'If President Cyril Ramaphosa wants votes from former president Jacob Zuma's Nkandla neighbours, he must ask his predecessor to help him campaign in the village of KwaNxamalala. How many people stay there StatsSA pls assist us I don’t there is a one village that decides singlehanded who wins elections I thought the IFP is ruling the roost there by Nkandla🤔 But this is a Brown lie and this publication doesn't respect us. Zuma lost Nkandla to IFP in 2016 local elections while he was queuing with the voters. Are you saying he handed over Nkandla to IFP during 2016 local elections. lies!!!
