Zuma Returns To Court For Pre-Trial Hearing In Corruption Case
In this file photo taken on July 27, 2018 former South African president Jacob Zuma stands in the dock of the High Court of Pietermaritzburg during his hearing over 16 corruption charges. Former South African president Jacob Zuma must pay back state funds and cover his own costs, a court ruled on December 13, 2018, leaving him facing massive legal bills as he fights graft charges.
He allegedly took bribes of four million rand over a $3.4-billion arms deal with French aerospace and defence giant Thales in 1999, when he was deputy president. “Hopefully the application will be launched and perhaps even heard, if an urgent date would be secured,” Pillay said. Outside the High Court in Pietermaritzburg, Zuma’s son Edward Zuma told local television station eNCA, “I doubt that he will get a fair trial.”
