The case against former president Jacob Zuma has been postponed to 27 July.

Zuma made his appearance in the Durban High Court on Friday, on charges of corruption.

Both the NPA and the former president’s lawyer have asked for the postponement, with the prosecuring authority saying it wants to study arms company Thales’ representations to withdraw the case.

Zuma’s legal counsel asked for more time to finalise issues around his legal costs.

The former president has been told to return and is out on a warning.
