Zuma corruption case returns to PMB high court
Former president, Jacob Zuma is due back in the dock of the Pietermaritzburg High Court today.
This on 16 charges - including fraud‚ corruption and racketeering - relating to the controversial multi-billion rand arms deal struck with French arms company Thales, back when Zuma was KZN's MEC for Economic Development.
He last appeared in court in July.
On the last occasion, Deputy Judge President Isaac Madondo, who presided over the case, gave Zuma's legal team until the sixteenth of this month to lodge his application for a permanent stay of prosecution.
This has now been done. Thales has also launched an application to the same effect.
So today, another adjournment is expected - almost certainly until next year.

It's expected the court will hear from both legal teams on the status of these applications and from Thales' lawyers - and from the State - on another charge the State previously indicated it wanted to bring against the company.
