Tuesday’s corruption case of former President Jacob Zuma, who is serving a 15-month jail term, will be heard virtually after he was admitted at the Military hospital on Friday.

The virtual court proceedings at the Pietermaritzburg High Court is expected to hear Zuma’s application for the postponement of the corruption case. Tuesday’s date (10 August 2021) was initially set down to hear Zuma’s application for the recusal of prosecutor Billy Downer.

“I can confirm that during a virtual hearing the legal team of Mr. Zuma will be making a substantive application for a postponement of the matter because he is indisposed and has been admitted in hospital. However, as the Prosecution, we were ready to argue the special plea but these are circumstances beyond our control,” says National Prosecuting Authority Spokesperson Adv Mthunzi Mhaga.
