Jacob Zuma Foundation says Zuma’s legal team will approach the president of the Supreme Court of Appeal for clarity on the ruling
The Jacob Zuma Foundation says the recent ruling by the Supreme Court of Appeal is “disappointing but not unexpected”.
Zuma’s corruption trial is scheduled to start on April 11. He and French arms company Thales face several charges of corruption‚ racketeering‚ fraud and money-laundering linked to the multibillion-rand arms deal. The group said Zuma had briefed his legal team to do all that was necessary to approach the president of the SCA‚ in line with the relevant legislation‚ to seek appropriate remedies including reconsideration‚ variation or clarification of the decision.
“For the criminal trial to proceed under the present conditions while these legal protections are being pursued would be a travesty of justice and a vindictive assault on our constitution‚” it said.
