According to the SABC, the former President will return to the Pietermaritzburg High Court this morning, but it’s most likely that he will seek a postponement, in order to get a new legal team. This after he parted ways with his lawyers in April. Zuma and his co-accused French arms manufacturer Thales face multiple charges of fraud, corruption and racketeering in connection with South Africa’s multi-billion rand arms deal of the 1990s.
