NATIONAL NEWS - The judge in the Durban High Court postponed the case against former president Jacob Zuma to July 27 this morning.
The reason, it appears, is that Zuma’s legal team was unable to prepare ahead of time for today’s proceedings.
Security was extraordinarily tight during of Jacob Zuma’s second appearance in the Durban High Court on charges of racketeering, corruption and fraud on Friday.
A phalanx of the president’s guard members, court officials, metro and South African police members controlled access to the court building.
Zuma arrived in his traditional convoy surrounded by edgy bodyguards and quickly disappeared into the courthouse.
To gain entry into court for media, friends, and ‘VIP’s’ such as BLF’s Andile Mnxgitama and Faith Muthambi, meant applying for accreditation, and then once that was obtained, signing in and wearing a colour-coded wristband.
