If the state was “genuine” about investigating the arms deal, Zuma contends, it should have investigated “others closer to decision making”, including his political nemesis, former president Thabo Mbeki.
Zuma has petitioned the Appeal Court, after the Pietermaritzburg High Court refused his application for a permanent stay of his corruption prosecution and denied his application to appeal that decision. He contends his appeal “bears more than a reasonable prospect of success”. In his application to the high court, Zuma had argued that his continued prosecution was a violation of his fair trial rights - because of the many delays in the matter which were not of his making - and a violation of his constitutional rights because of evidence of political interference during the investigation against him.However, in their ruling in November, three judges said Zuma had to convince them “on proper grounds” that he had a realistic prospect of success on appeal.
They also ruled against a similar application by French arms company Thales, Zuma’s co-accused in the corruption trial.
JacobZumaIsNot5YrsOld He was not a victim He is fully responsible for his actions He was given the highest office, ffs.. look what he did to a country So Jacob u r not a boy Grow up to your choices; stand tall and admit to your wrongdoings, they r a plenty!
Scapegoat... are we allowed to use that in thd media
He should save his breath. He still has a lot to say in court.
CyrilRamaphosa you'll have yourself to blame if the old man PresJGZuma dies of stroke or any related illnesses which could be as a result of stress or depression. Why are you abusing and purging the old man? Why? Why doing this to a fellow African?
Put the bastard back in jail He been very naughty
He forgets this is about case relating to arms deal & procurement program itself. Shabir was convicted, sure if he didn't run out of tricks he would have used same argument. If only he didn't prove his critics right during his presidency, he would still have benefit of doubt.
THE WRITER: ACTIVIST AND EX SA MP NOW LIVING IN THE UK. GOOD READ!
He is going to get another cost order against him.
Let's justices speak
Zuma needs a pair of orange overalls for what did and for what he omitted to do.
Scapegoat!!!😳😳Mcem!!
JZ is going nowhere stop dreaming
I filled like jz will con fence the, and I saw the finger pointed at some one that you will never believed
Yes he must just conference the peoples who they looting state money and go jail with them
Mr victim😐
What about mbeki and Trevor manual
At what point did JZ realise this 1yr ago 3/5yrs ago? When? Similar time probably when SA realised it was been taken for a ride by x pressi.
I blame people
Kanti this thing is this serious?
Can we please hear the merits of the case already!!! Some of us are tired of these finger pointing. Let a court of law hear the prosecution and the defence rebuttal of their story and we get to a verdict - no fear, nor favour nor prejudice
Imagine Zuma going to jail while De Klerk gets standing ovations and Nobel peace prize,wow this country is a joke...maybe,just maybe Apartheid was much better because we knew the enemy. Now the enemy is amongst us
A room with all amenities has been prepared..(a dig-smelling single bed..with blood suckers)...an ideal room for a conversation with yourself..as one begins his long walk to freedom...it will only end when you see a rainbow nation...not blacks & whites.
Lock him up. Financial genocide!
No. He used the attempts of Mbeki to generate funds for ANC in order to enrich his personal ass. Crockett Zupta, you day is coming.
It is true Mbeki said there was no arms deal... So where are the charges coming from
I doubt he'll go to jail
uBaba ka Duduzane will die before he has his day in court. These appeals are just a waste of resources for which, I doubt, he is paying. I also think it's a ploy by his legal team to 'eat' as much as they can.
Is that what it’s called these days?
Haahaa,who is using him as a scapegoat? Then he must do the right thing now and go to court and name the people who are using him because by so saying it means he knows about the cases
Still singing the same song just like Boney M Christmas carols
If he'd started serving back in '09 he'd b left with 15 to b a free man
That’s just the arms deal. Wait until he is prosecuted for treason.
Really?
Mr zuma you said you wanted your day in court why aren't you happy
Sure, he's the(ANCorrupt)-Scape-GOAT......But he-LOVED, Every(Gravy-train)-Minute, of-It .
This goat?
Back to Robben Island..
😳😳😳😳😳 You already have a sentence for the former president...Like really... He is 77 years of age and he will never go to jail.
Never true how is it you not aware of who is selling arms to you 🤔🤔
I would lock up JZ /family /youngsters in ANC that JZ brought in. Gigs Brian Faithless Bathadlimi Tina Des Ace Zwane etc. The crooks. Dudu would stop being cool at drop of a hat. 😁 The show will move on. Chips anyone? Problem is what will be left over of ANC? Would SA care?
That I believe, they used him all along.
Continue writing nonsense, after eNCA, you could next.
He must not keep quite he must speak the truth
Impeach him........no wait, wrong guy.
Shem! He'll never set a foot in jail. Lebalang.
How many of them are involved in the arms deal ?
Scapegoat or u favoured d guptas more than Mzansi
Used as a scapegoat by who? 🤔
Reality has dawned
He deserve to be locked
So he managed to recover from his illness?
Please just do it already
He must tell the truth
O bolawa ke mototelo. If you have got nothing to report just keep quite
If you continue writting nonsense news this will happen
thats why i dont follow the stupid media
Let him walk free De clerk n PW Botha got countless offences each n they were not charged.
Cry baby....
The nation will defend President Zuma
Ja, okay. Name them all and let them all sit in orange suits with you
Yet he didn't stop a single one of 783 payments to him from the arms deal? Enjoyed receiving that money.
Zuma will never spend even one night in jail. We know SA justice system
He was the president FFS! Where does he think the buck stops!! People are tired of his bullshit!!! even the ANC was tired if his bullshit and realised he was a problem.
Nuggent commission ? Allegations the boom PresJGZuma trends.
Put the poes in jail already. I want to see him lose weight so that he looks even funnier with that big head on a skinny body
Just lock him up we know he is guilty.let us have our 25 years please do not deny us that right. As for the arms deal that is another deal hawks do your job let us fix this kak once and for all.not forgetting the municipalities.thank you
Spill the beans Msholodzi.. Or else..
