, Hennie van Vuuren describes the relationship between French arms company Thomson-CSF and the apartheid government. The state needed weapons to maintain white rule and the company was happy to breach international sanctions to turn a profit.

Zuma argued on Monday that the National Prosecuting Authority had violated his rights to dignity and a fair trial. On Tuesday, it was Thales’s turn to explain why the case should never go to court. Judge Thoba Poyo-Dlwati politely told Katz, “When you make the argument over and over, we lose it. Let’s just digest it.
