Former President Jacob Zuma is returning to court today with
the nation still in the dark over whether he will allow his corruption, fraud
and money laundering to proceed. the court said that the matter must be heard
instead of being struck off the roll. The former president can allow the matter
to proceed and later appeal the sentence if not happy or ask the same court to
permit him to appeal Friday's judgement.
Friday's ruling by a full bench of the Pietermaritzburg High
Court was that Zuma be tried after he had applied to have the matter squashed
for good. However, Proffessor Perrie de Vos a Constitutional law expert at the
University of Cape Town, said Zuma's chances of success should he decide to
appeal were slim.
Despite being out of
office and having lost power the former president will have supporters from ANC
members from eThikwini and Pietermaritsburg supports have arranged to court,
they are expecting 8000 people that Zuma will address after his appearance.
