Zuma’s lawyer says no corruption was involved in exchange of money between his client and his financial adviser
to City Press outside court on Friday after the conclusion of his client’s application to have the Pietermaritzburg division of the KwaZulu-Natal High Court grant him a stay of prosecution. Mantsha sought to explain away accusations that included Shaik having allegedly paid R1.2 million to Zuma, then deputy president of the country, over a period of seven years.
Mantsha said the 77-year-old might come across as charismatic after proceedings, dancing and addressing crowds that had come to support him, but the trial was taking a toll on him. In 2007, he was allegedly struck off the roll of the Law Society of the Northern Provinces for several infractions, including allegations of embezzlement of funds, dishonesty and unprofessional behaviour, before being readmitted in 2011.
Laughable stuff!!! Fourteen years and +- R30 million in tax payers monies spent. Just because two buddies exchaned a few bob? Yeh right! For sure!!! Wink, wink.
