Former South African President Jacob Zuma’s corruption trial has been delayed again after his new defence team raised concerns about the lead prosecutor and said it may seek his recusal from the case. Mr Zuma stands accused of taking an annual bribe of five hundred thousand rand from French arms manufacturer Thales to shield them from an investigation into a nineteen ninety nine arms deal. Jacob Zuma is the subject of more than 200 criminal charges relating to a range of money laundering and corruption allegations, but maintains significant influence in South Africa’s ruling African National Congress.
