ANC Campaign Trail for Zuma After South African Court Delays

Former president Jacob Zuma has told supporters - which includes former finance minister Des van Rooyen, Black First Land First leader Andile Mngxitama and former North West premier Supra Mahumapelo - that he will continue campaign efforts for the African National Congress for next year's general elections. This comes after the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg postponed the case against the former leader who faces 16 charges of fraud, money laundering, corruption and racketeering linked to 783 alleged payments from French company, Thales, in connection with the notorious arms deal.
