A high court issued the warrant after it questioned the authenticity of his sick note, but said it would not be executed until the case is set to resume on May 6. “I am not afraid of prison,” Zuma told his supporters in Zulu before being ushered out of the arrivals hall.He raised his thumbs and grinned from behind a pair of dark glasses as a singing crowd gathered around him.
In all, he faces 16 charges of fraud, graft and racketeering related to the purchase of fighter jets, patrol boats, and military equipment.
