My assessment of the Judge's commentary thus far (in summary as presented in court). In my opinion, this case will revolve on one single point, and that is whether the state has been able to prove Mens Rea. In any event, we will probably know the outcome of the trial in the next 1 - 2 hours.
I think its been shown quite often in SA that being corrupt and getting caught for it is not a detriment to a political career. Heck not even being a criminal is.
I wouldn't be suprised if a corrupt rapist was our next president...
