The Pietermaritzburg High Court has ruled that president Jacob Zuma has been unsuccessful in his application for permanent stay of prosecution.

Trial starts 15 October.

Is it too early to have a beer?

 

[LCBXX]

Trial starts 15 October.

It'll get postponed until Feb 2020 earliest, more than enough time for Zuma to exhale against the house of cards to get the ANC to get the law to back off.

What's five months after fifteen years?

This is just high court, right? Surely, this scammer will go to SC and then CC? I think he will be dead before all appeals are exhausted. Or he will be 85 when there will be calls for compassionate grounds and such nonsense.

That's a lot of hats and socks to sell. He got hit with costs today.

Either there is going to be a new round of fundraising, or suddenly zuma has immigrated to dubai before trial.

Yeah, just like Jiba has no transport money to attend trial. Same tactics are used by everyone these days.

There is not going to be any fundraising now that he is not in a position to give back anything in return.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Straight to the SCA this will go, then the CC... more delay tactics, nothing else.

 

[3WA]

What does it mean if the trial is set for 15 October? Does the date get pushed back if he gets leave to appeal?

 

[LCBXX]

What's five months after fifteen years?

He's not going to jail or get convicted. He'll be dead by the time they've gone after everyone else and his number comes up. If it were the case, Zuma would've been out of the country already.

Depends if he was granted leave to appeal. Article doesn't really say...

 

[ToxicBunny]

Yeah I also noticed that after I posted..

But you can guarantee that if he isn't granted leave to appeal they will petition the CC...

 

[TheChamp]

Good news.

 

[ArtyLoop]

Good news?
He will get off, he will walk away scot-free. Because he has the influence, and the power.

 

[Cius]

No one will go to jail that matters. Not in this country anyways. Still, if this costs him some worry and sleep that will at least make me a but happier. I hope the courts hanging over him gives him an ulcer.

That works for me too

 

[grok]

Much lamenting, alternative tales, accusations of apartheid spies & claiming victimhood incoming.

The exprez is even worse than Bryan Molefe in the crying over being prosecuted department.

Even if the scum walks, let it be known what he did, display his legacy for all to see.
