Former president Jacob Zuma's lawyer, Muzi Sikhalkhane presents his arguments at the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
Prosecutor Andrew Breytenbach has told the Pietermaritzburg High Court that part of the reason for the delay in the corruption case against former president Jacob Zuma and French arms company Thales, was a request byfor documents in the State’s possession. The State has started making arguments in it’s response to Zuma and Thales’ application for a permanent stay of prosecution.
Breytenbach says before the State could hand over the documents that were requested, it had to consider whether they were not privileged. He says this was followed by a very long responding affidavit by Zuma’s lawyers which the state had to carefully consider.Meanwhile, Political commentator, William Mpofu from the University of Witwatersrand has called for the interests of society to also be considered in the corruption case against former president Jacob Zuma and French arms company Thales.
