The latest on the Zuma trial

Former deputy President Jacob Zuma’s daughter, Duduzile, is expected to defend her father when she takes the stand in the Johannesburg High Court. Zuma is accused of raping a 31-year old woman at his home in November last year. Duduzile was at his home at the time. The trial enters its third day on Wednesday, and the complainant faced intensive cross-examination by Zuma's advocate, Kemp J Kemp on Tueday. According to the Star, this is expected to culminate on Wednesday in a revelation of her sexual past and claims that she previously made false rape allegations. Duduzile's evidence could prove crucial to her father's claims that he had consensual sex with the complainant.
