JacobZuma’s defence tries to submit new ‘conspiracy’ evidence in graft case
PIETERMARITZBURG – Former president Jacob Zuma’s attempts to have the graft charges he is facing permanently halted took a surprise turn in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Thursday as his legal team tried to present new evidence for an old alleged conspiracy against Zuma.
Zuma has maintained that the decision to first charge him in 2005, was politically motivated to ensure he did not ascend to the position of ANC president and ultimately state president.Acting for the State, Advocate Wim Trengove again poured cold water on the theory on Thursday morning, calling the “conspiracy theories” “unfounded and disputed”.
“The document I am about to read, will tell you that in March 2018, this NPA that tells you that the role of Maduna was limited... was still checking facts about that and asking about an investigation into his involvement in bribes and the involvement of Thabo Mbeki, in a letter.”
