Zuma and his co-accused French arms company Thales are expected in court on Tuesday in connection with fraud, racketeering and money laundering charges stemming from an arms deal negotiated by the South African government in the late 1990s.
He argues that the state later reverted to its earlier position and insisted on a physical appearance in court. “However, the State insists on the holding date being in October 2020, thus granting itself the postponement without the requisite substantive application. The State, in insisting that the next court appearance/holding date be on 13 October 2020, will effectively and without an application for postponement nullify Mr Zuma’s recorded position that the trial must commence in October 2020.
Furthermore, Zuma’s lawyers argued that the state application was “defective” as it was not accompanied by an affidavit written under oath. They argued that by so doing, the state was trying to cover up its failures.
