South African President Seeks Extension in Corruption Case
The main opposition party has said that President Jacob Zuma has requested more time to respond to the court's decision to review a previous ruling where corruption charges against him were dropped.
The official opposition Democratic Alliance gained access to the spy tapes in September 2014. The tapes contain recorded phone conversations, which allegedly reveal collusion between the former heads of the Directorate of Special Operations, the now defunct Scorpions, Leonard McCarthy, and the NPA’s former head Bulelani Ngcuka, to manipulate the prosecutorial process before the ANC’s Polokwane conference in 2007. Zuma was elected ANC president at the conference (file photo).
