Court proceedings in the Jacob Zuma/Thales corruption trial was postponed again after the former president's application to stay them.

His corruption trial was finally meant to get under way before Pietermaritzburg High Court Judge Piet Koen on Monday morning. But proceedings wound up being postponed again on the back of an application from Zuma to stay them. He is awaiting the outcome of his application for Supreme Court of Appeal Judge President Mandisa Maya to reconsider her court’s dismissal of his application for leave to appeal the outcome of his special plea.

Last year, Zuma raised a special plea challenging the title of state advocate Billy Downer SC - and the whole of the National Prosecuting Authority - to try him, arguing he was the victim of prosecutorial bias and couldn’t be guaranteed a fair trial. Koen in October dismissed the special plea, finding the word “title” referred to a prosecutor’s standing or authority to prosecute. He in February also dismissed an application for leave to appeal - among other things - which Zuma had lodged.
