Jacob Zuma corruption case postponed to next February
The corruption matter involving former president Jacob Zuma
and French arms company, Thales - will be back in court in February.
It's related to the multi-billion-rand arms deal.
Senior State Advocate Billy Downer requested consent to a postponement, adding that all parties were engaged and had agreed to it.
The postponement is mainly due to the full judgement in the Thales application being outstanding.
The company's legal counsel applied to appeal the racketeering charges they are facing.
The state also says it needs further clarity on international travel for witnesses that will be brought in to testify.
Judge Nompumelelo Radebe granted the postponement.
The matter will be back in court on the 23rd of February.
