Zuma to face charges relating to corruption fraud money laundering

Ndudane, James Booi and Fryman Baatjies - involved in the abalone fishing and abalone processing industry - wanted to keep Zuma from reshuffling Zokwana in the hope that the minister would carry out their "transformation agenda", Seretse claimed.

Congress of South African Trade Unions president Sdumo Dlamini has also been implicated but has strongly denied any wrongdoing.

While the NPA could not confirm the date of Zuma's appearance, Hawks spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi confirmed to News24 that Zuma's lawyers would receive a summons this week.

Meanwhile, Zuma's supporters in Kwa-Zulu Natal have started a campaign to support the former president when he appears in court on the count of 16 corruption charges.

Since his election nine years ago, his opponents have fought a lengthy legal battle to have the charges reinstated.

It was announced last week that Zuma, who resigned as president last month, would face prosecution over the deal signed in the 1990s.

This comes after a report by City Press said that Zuma was involved in a R1 million cash bribe from a Western Cape abalone dealer.

The BBC's Andrew Harding reports that the opposition parties say the money spent so far has been used on time-wasting appeals and legal challenges created to thwart justice and spare Mr Zuma the humiliation of a criminal trial.

The DA said it would approach the court to set aside the decision to allow taxpayers' money to be used to pay Zuma's legal fees.

"I am of the view that a trial court would be the most appropriate forum for these issues to be ventilated and to be decided upon", said Abrahams.
