New Special Investigating Unit (SIU) head Willem Heath has accused former president Thabo Mbeki of "initiating" rape and corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma, City Press reported on Sunday.
In an interview with the newspaper, Heath was quoted saying that convicted fraudsters, Shabir Shaik and Tony Yengeni, were "sacrificed" in the arms deal investigation and that Mbeki "dictated" to the National Prosecuting Authority in Zuma's rape trial.
