Zuma, Thales likely to ask for postponement as graft trial begins | IOL News

Pietermaritzburg - Former president Jacob Zuma and his co-accused French arms company Thales might ask the Pietermaritzburg High Court to postpone the beginning of their corruption trial in order to make another attempt to squash the case, said legal expert Advocate Makhosazana Mbonani.

Zuma and Thales had late last week suffered a defeat when a full bench rejected their application for a permanent stay of prosecution. However, Mbonani said the two still had other avenues to get the charges against them scrapped permanently. “This then gives the applicants 15 court dates to bring an application to appeal the decision and have it set aside.

“They may approach the Supreme Court of Appeal and if they are not successful there, they may approach the Constitutional Court for a decision in their favour,” said Mbonani.

Avoid court at all costs yet again!!!
