Former president Jacob Zuma arrest warrant has been cancelled by Judge Kate Pillay in the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
Zuma’s corruption case is said to have been in the making for 17 years. He is accused of receiving bribes from the French arms manufacturer.
However, his lawyer has provided sufficient evidence showing he was ill in February when he failed to appear in the High Court.
The State wants the case postponed until October, arguing that it has been unable to meet with forensic specialists due to the lockdown.
But Zuma’s lawyer said they’re ready to proceed now.
