08/06/2018   News


South Africa’s former President Jacob Zuma warned opponents and ruling party officials against attacking him in public and vowed to prove his innocence after the High Court postponed his corruption case until next month.

Zuma, 76, appeared briefly in the court in the eastern port city of Durban on Friday where the case was delayed until July 27 to enable his lawyers to get clarity on who will pay his legal fees and to give the court time to assess a request by his co-accused Thales SA, a French defense company, to drop charges against it.

The hearing has been postponed several times, including when Grenier underwent surgery and was still recovering.

Federal Crown lawyer Glen Scheuer…
