This comes a day after Zuma hinted that he may not make it to the event.

Zuma was among the former presidents, which include Thabo Mbeki, FW De Klerk and Kgalema Motlanthe, who were due to grace the event.

The official programme for the day had Zuma scheduled to arrive just after Motlanthe but instead, Zuma sent his wife, Bongi Ngema-Zuma. Addressing his supporters outside the High Court in Pietermaritzburg at his corruption trial, Zuma said people should not be surprised if they do not see him – because he might be busy.

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?
