Zuma graft hearing postponed to June due to coronavirus

JOHANNESBURG - A corruption trial involving South African former President Jacob Zuma, due to resume this week, has been postponed to June because of the coronavirus outbreak, the state prosecutor said Monday.

"This is due to the COVID-19 lockdown travel and court appearance restrictions," the NPA said in an emailed statement.The country is gradually easing a strict five-week nationwide lockdown meant to halt the spread of coronavirus, which has infected over 6,700 people and killed at least 131. He was forced to step down in 2018 by the ruling African National Congress after a nine-year reign marked by corruption allegations and dwindling popularity.

As nothing ever comes from this and it's always delayed... honestly so sick of hearing his name.

Of course........!!!!

And the June one will be postponed to September and so on and so forth

Nobody in SA saw this coming. That’s right. We’re all idiots. Well done tjommie CyrilRamaphosa

Lets make an exception here.

Tell Zuma I love him

It’s a lie. NPA is suddenly dragging its feet in dealing with this POLITICAL case. They never expected JZ to face them.
