South Africa’s attention will be riveted on the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Tuesday when Jacob Zuma finally goes on trial for corruption, racketeering and money laundering in connection with the country’s multi-billion rand arms deal. While his supporters are busy with last-minute preparations to organise transport to the venue, his family say he is still facing the kind of treatment he did under apartheid.
Zuma’s trial goes ahead after a full bench of the high court on Friday dismissed with costs an appeal by the former president and his co-accused, French arms company Thales, for a permanent stay of prosecution. Friday’s ruling came 15 years to the day that his former financial adviser Schabir Shaik went on trial for his role in soliciting a bribe for Zuma from Thales.
Shaik was found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in jail but was eventually released on medical parole.

The case of Jacob Zuma will exceeds Mandela's time spent on Robben Island in looks it will be delayed by other postponements and appeals taking another 15years before we see Msholozi guilty or not guilty.
