Zuma will not have long to wait for judge’s decision

Former deputy president Jacob Zuma will not have to wait unduly long to know his fate after being tried for rape. Johannesburg High Court judge Willem Van der Merwe said on Monday that closing arguments would be heard on the 26th and 28th of this month with the 2nd and 3rd of next month set aside should it be necessary. News 24 reports Judge Van der Merwe as saying he wanted to wrap up the case as soon as possible for obvious reasons. Judgement would therefore not be delayed.
