Zuma's corruption trial postponed

The corruption trial against former President Jacob Zuma and French arms company Thales, has been postponed.

The case was heard in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Tuesday with both accused in abstentia.

Judge Nompumelelo Radebe postponed the matter to the February next year to allow for judgment to be handed down, in a review application by Thales to have racketeering charges set aside.

Zuma and Thales are accused of corruption, linked to the controversial multi-billion rand arms deal.
