Jacob Zuma is facing 16 charges of corruption, money laundering and racketeering in connection with the controversial multimillion-rand arms deal scandal in the late 1990s.

This is in relation to the multi-billion rand arms acquisition from the French arms company, formerly known as Thompson CSF which was awarded a R2.6 billion stake back in 1997. A subsidiary of the group known as “Thint” are accused of paying Zuma R500 000 a year, to use his political influence and prevent any inquiries into their illicit deals.

“The purpose of the application is to say the proceedings against him. This is due to the fact that our constitution, in particular section 35 sub section 3, says that an accused person must be tried or must receive fair trial, meaning that there should be no delay in the trial against him because he must know about the future. In other words he must have his day in court. He must not always wait in anticipation indefinitely,” says Ngubani.
