Former president Jacob Zuma is expected to appear in person at the Pietermaritzburg High Court today for his corruption trial.
Both Zuma and co-accused French arms company, Thales, have managed to avoid court appearances up to now. It was reported that in delivering her decision on Zuma’s absence, Pillay outlined that, while he may have been ill, there was insufficient evidence in court to prove this.Zuma’s lawyer at the time, Daniel Mantsha, who has since been sacked, presented the court with a document he said was from a military doctor.
The normally boisterous support in KwaZulu-Natal for the former president is expected to be watered down to just a few people on Tuesday thanks to Covid-19 lockdown regulations which prohibit gatherings.
