Former president Jacob Zuma’s corruption case has been postponed to the 1st of August in the High Court in Pietermaritzburg.He wants a superior court, including the Constitutional Court if necessary, to hear an appeal against Judge Piet Koen’s dismissal of his special plea. The plea calls for the recusal of the lead prosecutor Advocate Billy Downer due to alleged bias.The High Court has ruled that should the appeal process be finalised by August 1st, the trial will start on August the 15th.
The Jacob Zuma Foundation’s spokesperson is Mzwanele Manyi says, “I think it is very important for SA to always err on the side of caution which is not the one that just assumes that we lose, lose, lose. Part of the assumption is what happens if we win, win, win? So we don’t know which is really going to happen. This case must focus on who are the real beneficiaries of these billions? It is not Zuma. So we are looking forward to that day.

Keeping him busy whilst those who feel threatened by him are tightening their grip on things! Sad.
I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.
It will be postponed until the end of humanity, I don't see this case going anywhere ever and I'm very happy about that.
Tsek!
I think it's time for us as South Africans to accept that there will be no ZumaTrial in our lifetime.
