Eyewitness News senior politics journalist Tshidi Madia gives an update of scenes outside the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
The African National Congress (ANC) has appointed a presenter to look into what happened last week outside the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
The party s National Working Committee (NWC) condemned the actions of suspended party Secretary-General Ace Magashule, National Executive Committee (NEC) member Tony Yengeni and uMkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Associationâs Carl Niehaus during former President Jacob Zumaâs recent court appearance.
The party said it was considering disciplinary action against the trio for what it calls divisive and defiant behaviour.

There was yet another postponement on Monday to the highly-anticipated start of the corruption, racketeering and money laundering trial of former president Jacob Zuma and his co-accused, French arms company Thales.
The trial, due to a lack of finality in terms of the pretrial proceedings, was adjourned to May 26, a date on which Zuma and his co-accused are expected to enter their formal plea.
Zuma’s legal team, led by advocate Thabani Masuku, indicated that it would be bringing an application for state prosecutor Billy Downer, to recuse himself from leading the state’s prosecution.
