As expected, the legal team for former president Jacob Zuma on Monday argued that the graft case against its client should be struck off the roll because of political interference and an unreasonable delay in prosecution.

Durban –

Zuma should have been charged "without delay" alongside Shaik as the NPA had announced at the time that there was a prima facie case against Zuma, said Sikhakhane. Shaik was found guilty on two charges of corruption and one of fraud in 2005 and sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment. He attempted an appeal at the Supreme Court but failed and was also turned down by the Constitutional Court. He served two years before being released on “medical parole” in 2009.Zuma was charged in 2007 but, citing political interference, charges were withdrawn by the NPA in 2009.

SC Skhakhane made some good points,if a person is guilty of crime they need to be charged,it's not time for law enforcers to seek glory for themselves or be emotionally engaged they should do their work.Cases are spoilt by their stunts brutality,tempering with evidence etc.

This guy must be pardoned by the current president he's old,tired and he's divisive figure within the ANC and country

First you stalled the case now you complain. Special kind of skelm!

If i ever find myself on the wrong side of the law i would insist on a Zuma lawyer these guys are goos keeping a guilty person out of jail ..gotta give credit 😉
