11:59 am
congress at the heart of his fall from grace one hundred's of corruption allegations zuma was charged specifically in a corruption case going back more than a decade. he was you know was deputy president the french arms company tireless $180000000.00 government contract to build 4 frigates for stop africa's navy state prosecutors say tellus agreed to pay zuma half a $1000000.00 rand that's around $34000.00 a deal for his political protection was allegedly brokered by his former financial advisor should be a shake. he was jailed in 2006 for 15 years but was released 2 years later on medical parole the difficulty for the national prosecuting authority is that when they charge should be a shake with corrupting jacob zuma they chose not to charge jacob zuma the former head of the n.p.a. said this was because while they had a prima fucking case or they had a level of evidence against jacob zuma they weren't sure that the case was winnable
12:00 pm
zuma was fired as deputy president but stayed in the a.n.c. he was elected president of the party ahead of the 2009 elections which the a.n.c. won zuma then became south africa's president in 2007 zuma was charged with corruption racketeering money laundering and fraud the charges were dropped 2 years later because judges said they'd been political interference but last year prosecutors had another change of mind and the charges were reinstated zuma wants the charges dropped because of what he describes as a political conspiracy jacob zuma is due to appear at this court way it's expected his lawyers will argue that it's been more than a decade since the case against him began and it should be thrown out the former president also says there have been irregularities ahead of the trial including that he has been spied on by the government if he must put on trial it could have massive implications for the divided in seen resume retain significant support going to be a trying time for the a.n.c.
