Zuma corruption trial hit by another delay

KWAZULU-NATAL - Yet another delay in the long-running Jacob Zuma's corruption trial.

It will now not go ahead on Monday. That's after his co-accused, French company Thales brought an application to have charges dismissed.

The former President has now joined that application.

Thales argues it will not get a fair trial as two of its directors and key witnesses, Alain Thetard and Pierre Moynot, have died.

Zuma is accused of corruption, racketeering, money laundering and fraud.

He has pleaded not guilty to the charges relating to the 1999 South African Strategic Defence Procurement Package, often referred to as the Arms Deal.
