Day three of court proceedings in the case of former president Jacob Zuma and co-accused French arms company, Thales, ended with drama at the Pietermaritzburg division of the the KwaZulu-Natal High Court on Thursday afternoon.
It remained unclear whether the letter legitimised prior claims made by his client in 2015, when he effectively accused his predecessor, Thabo Mbeki, of blackmailing him and dangling a R20 million bribe in his face in an attempt at getting him to quit politics back in 2003.“Blame everything on one person,” started Sikhakhane, in reference to the state, which according to him, was laying the blame for the over 14-year delay in the prosecution of this case on his client.
“May I be allowed to read this letter into the record,” he compelled the judges, adding that “the NPA had this document and has not handed it to us”. The full bench of judges requested a recess of five minutes and when they came back asked the state if they objected to the defence making the new submission.
JKwritingz They jump around like fleas on a hot plate
JKwritingz Gupta ke? nkandla?; rape case?
JKwritingz That has nothing to do with the case...The case still remains.
JKwritingz Some of this reporting is clearly not factual. How is it that they (Mbeki and Maduna) asked Zuma to leave politics in 2008, when he was already President of the ANC having been elected in December 2007 in Polokwane? Please get your dates and logic right, lest this story is false.
JKwritingz Why would the tsotsi scum take R20m when he knew he would be stealing 100 times that......
JKwritingz do you have a copy of it. Please to reveal to us as the public.
