Innocent until proven guilty: Zuma

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Former President Jacob Zuma briefly addressed hundreds of his supporters after appearing in the High Court in Durban saying he’s innocent until proven guilty.

Supporters mostly dressed in African National Congress (ANC) colours came in the droves, including prominent party member Carl Niehaus.

They came dressed in ANC colours despite a call from the ANC NEC for them not to wear party regalia.

Zuma’s case will be heard on June 8.

This after both the prosecution and the defence teams requested more time in order to allow Zuma’s legal team to bring a review application against the NPA’s decision to reinstate the charges against him.

His legal team will lodge the application on May 15.

He is facing 16 counts of fraud, money laundering and racketeering related to the multi-billion-rand arms deal.
