It remains to be seen whether former President Jacob Zuma will attend his arms deal corruption trial scheduled to be heard at the Pietermaritzburg high court on Tuesday as he still in hospital.
Zuma’s brother, Khanya, told TimesLIVE this week that the family was not overly worried about Zuma being hospitalised “as he had “been unwell since he was poisoned” in 2014.
“We are not overly concerned because they told us yesterday that he would be going to see his regular doctor. He has really been unwell since he was poisoned,” said Khanya. Meanwhile, the police are reportedly on high alert in KwaZulu-Natal ahead of the court case, which usually draws scores of Zuma’s supporters.
