Zuma may take the stand next week

It is reported that former Deputy President Jacob Zuma may take the stand in his rape trial next week. The trial has been adjourned in the Johannesburg High Court until Thursday next week. Prosecutor Charin de Beer says the State could declare their case closed when the trial resumes. Zuma is accused of raping a 31-year-old HIV-positive woman at his home in November last year. The case has been marked by intimate details of the alleged rape. Zuma has been widely criticized for ignoring the dangers of HIV/Aids by having sex with the woman.
