The high court wants more details about the nature of the illness preventing the former president from appearing on corruption charges

Another recent example of political amnesia took place when Zuma testified — if it could be called that— at the Zondo Commission.

However, the warrant, issued at the request of prosecutor Billy Downer SC, was stayed until Zuma’s next appearance in court, scheduled for May 6. His attorney, Daniel Mantsha, told the court that Zuma had undergone two operations in January and was abroad receiving further treatment. He did not disclose the nature of the treatment, but said Zuma had been out of the country since January 23.

Downer said the prosecution was “obliged” to assist the court in evaluating any medical evidence presented to the court by Zuma’s legal team.Mantsha said it was “absurd” that the authenticity of medical documents from the South African National Defence Force medical services should be questioned.

I’m going to be sick of courts

The only 79 year in the world that requires a sick note to prove he is sick. Biologically it is very unsual for 79 year old not to have any form of illness.

The nature of the illness is fugitive.

They must be mad

Stupidity

Poisoned again...

The Nkandla thief thinks the court of law works like zondo commission.

Is Shaik still alive? Remember he was at death's door years ago.
