From South Africa comes a report that, former President Jacob Zuma’s corruption trial which has been rescheduled a number of times is due to resume today in a Pietermaritzburg high court.

Mr. Zuma is facing a string of charges in connection with a multibillion-dollar arms deal in which he is accused of accepting bribes from a French company Thales in the nineteen nineties. Both Zuma and the arms company have denied the accusations.
He insists that his court cases are politically motivated, but has provided no evidence of this.
