South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday received the last of a series of damning reports from a four-year investigation into state corruption during his predecessor Jacob Zuma's presidency. FRANCE 24's Nadine Theron reports from Cape Town, South Africa.
South Africa's Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo hands over the first part of a report in a long-awaited probe into state corruption under former president Jacob Zuma to President Cyril Ramaphosa in a ceremony in Pretoria. The remaining two instalments will be handed over in February. At the press conference, President Ramaphosa calls the report "a defining moment in our country's effort to definitely end the era of state capture". IMAGES
Former South African President, Jacob Zuma, is facing 16 charges relating to a 1990''s arms deal. He has denied any wrongdoing. The case was posponed to give Zuma more time to prepare his case.
Lawyers for President Jacob Zuma are arguing against the release of a "state capture" report about his relationship with a wealthy Indian family and the alleged role it played in selecting members of South Africa's cabinet.
South Africa's former president Jacob Zuma misses his arms deal corruption trial due to ill health, his lawyer announces. "From yesterday, there was a health issue with the President, but we thought that when he wakes up today, all will resolve and all of that, but as things stand right now, the doctor did not advise for him to be here." he says.
