Zuma will most likely seek a postponement in order to get a new legal team after parting ways with his lawyers in April.
Zuma and his co-accused French arms manufacturer Thales face multiple charges of fraud, corruption and racketeering in connection with South Africa’s multi-billion rand arms deal of the 1990s.
The video below is reporting on Zuma trial:

Zuma has maintained his innocence from the beginning. He has also claimed that the corruption case against him was nothing but a witch hunt and a campaign by his political adversaries to see him imprisoned.
