More revelations in Zuma rape case

Jacob Zuma fathered a son, Edward, with Minah Shongwe, the sister of the deputy judge president of the Transvaal, 29 years ago. It was his biological connection with Judge Jeremiah Shongwe that Zuma's defence team apparently raised with Judge President Bernard Ngoepe on Tuesday after he had recused himself from Zuma's rape trial. The Star reports that the defence would also apparently have raised the issue in court and would have sought Judge Shongwe's recusal, if he had been appointed as the trial judge. The Star has learnt that Zuma's son Edward is very much part of the Zuma clan's life and regularly attends family functions.
