Jacob Zuma is 'feeling very bad' about corruption case against him

But Zuma didn’t appear ashamed as he walked confidently into court on Monday morning where his son Duduzane - who is fighting his own legal battles in a culpable homicide case - sat in the public gallery with some of his father's staunchest allies like Carl Niehaus and Black First Land First leader Andile Mngxitama.

He displayed the same confidence when he walked out of court on Friday after his advocate, Muzi Sikhakhane, argued to introduce a letter written by former prosecutions boss Shaun Abrahams which Zuma believes would help him to avoid facing 16 charges that include fraud‚ corruption and racketeering. "We hope that the court will read the letter and see it for what it is. It is black and white. It is coming from the National Prosecuting Authority, not from us. They, themselves believe that there is political interference. That is why they directed the Hawks to investigate certain prominent politicians, not only for political meddling but for corruption and racketeering," Mantsha said.

Sikhakhane told the court that the letter spoke of bribes, former president Thabo Mbeki and ex-justice minister Penuell Maduna. He argued that the state could not deny that there was political interference when, as late as March 2018, Abrahams was asking the Hawks to investigate claims made by former Thales lawyer Ajay Sooklal that Mbeki had allegedly instructed Maduna to drop the charges.

he must clear his name in court not on public court of perception

Always think outside of a can...Zuma dropped white lawyers because he knew this is about white and black musa ukuhlala phezu'kwenqondo...also remember the song he sung two times we must wake up

Zuma said something interesting in an interview he gave NEWZROOMAFRIKA , he said his detractors have striped him of the State Financial Assistance bcos they wanted him to put together a 'weak' legal team, if i were Sikhakhane SC i would drop him off like a hot potato!

So..His Lawyers are stating that our Justice system is unfair.... suddenly when the shoe is on the other foot it is unfair. So where did you learn to practice Law then to see the difference.
