Former president Jacob Zuma was unable to attend the start of his corruption trial on Monday morning at the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg due to an undisclosed medical condition.This was announced by Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi who addressed the media at the court.
"There is an important announcement. From yesterday, there was a health issue with the president, but when we woke up today we thought that all would be resolved, but as things stand right now, the doctor has advised that it’s not advisable for him to be here, but obviously that on its own there is a protocol issue around the medical issues, so there are still sorting that out so that we get finality.
The foundation said it expected that the court proceeding which were supposed to start at 10:00 would be delayed as a result of the"unforeseen" medical emergency. Manyi refused to reveal if Zuma had been taken to a hospital, saying"he is with medical people somewhere. They are still running tests and all of that, and until they get confirmation from the tests, we cannot tell what the issue is".
Zuma and French arms company Thales face a raft of fraud and corruption charges related to the multi-billion rand arms deal.We live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred, you have access to a world of in-depth analyses, investigative journalism, top opinions and a range of features. Journalism strengthens democracy. Invest in the future today.
JKwritingz Jy loer nog!
JKwritingz The condition is called Acute Buncalitis Maximus!
JKwritingz Why undisclosed? What is the matter? Courtitis?
JKwritingz Justice system of Mzansi if nonsense. If it was just someone poor and not politician he/she would have been changed already.
JKwritingz Today he's going home to cut the cake and eat more sugar he will be too sick to appear again when trial date nears
JKwritingz I think he is sick in his head. A serious psychological evaluation might be in order!
JKwritingz His legal team make a mockery of the law by knowingly enabling this.
JKwritingz How many fatal diseases are we allowed a year?
JKwritingz Always easier in hospital than in jail. He really is trying to avoid his day in court by any means possible. Maybe it's time for independent doctors to examine him, and not a government employee. And Shaik must have the same.
JKwritingz Put in jail hospital then
JKwritingz Even this trick will come to an end he will eventually appear no jika ngekhona
JKwritingz I am so over JZ and his sick notes... jail the oke already!
JKwritingz There is nothing wrong with Zuma. Today he will be celebrating his birthday. He applied the same tricks last time nd when they wanted to send him to another doctor he refused. He also did the same with the Zondo Commission. When he is cornered he play sick.
JKwritingz Yeah, right...
JKwritingz The SA state is still very much captured by the ANC.
JKwritingz He sure is running away from his day in court he wanted..... What a joke!
JKwritingz Zuma the thief , may death come into your life soon
JKwritingz A country is doomed when people blatantly make a mockery of its laws ......
JKwritingz he'll be back shooting Tik Tok videos over the weekend
JKwritingz Abamu bophe sizo loot
JKwritingz Phunyuka ba Mphete
JKwritingz Oops
JKwritingz Let's hope it's curable....
JKwritingz Come down with a bout of the Schabir Shaiks. Such a terrible affliction, for South Africa.
JKwritingz No other South African is such a liability to our beloved country. I don't wish him well on his sickness. Rather, that hope that it's time for him to be called to the other side of life. Definitely not the same side to where Cmde Chris was called to!
JKwritingz What is he in a mental institution for observation 🤔
JKwritingz Me so sick
JKwritingz Panic attack
JKwritingz Hy is soos ‘n kind wat skool bank.
JKwritingz Wonder what the sick note will be that he gives to the judge for bunking today?
JKwritingz Karma never forgets an address. Satan Jacob Zuma's day is coming . No amount of muti can stop justice.
JKwritingz He he he
JKwritingz So he just makes up things as he goes along. Cool.
JKwritingz Habitual lying isn't a medical condition. I didn't know that hospitals have polygraphs.
JKwritingz Kakpraat is a serious illness
JKwritingz The very same constitution Lindiwe Sisulu was attacking and ppl swearing her, now Zuma is using it to escape it and he has all the rights😂😂😂😂
JKwritingz Apparently Some STDs have to be nursed regularly
JKwritingz 'nywe nywe nywe I want my day in court'
JKwritingz Undisclosed, you mean non-existing…
JKwritingz Kkk
JKwritingz Undisclosed cos nobody knows 😂
JKwritingz Sure, very believable! Just like every other politician ever is actually terminally ill and needs medical parole when found guilty
JKwritingz Yesus, jirre
JKwritingz Lies that one... Just playing hide and seek... He is scared of being arrested..
JKwritingz Till when mara will this old man duk and dive
JKwritingz And he gets away again!!
JKwritingz 👀
JKwritingz They should let this man go, he's too old for this.
JKwritingz But he can dance?
JKwritingz Just tell me when this terminal illness is taking effect. I nee
JKwritingz If Manyi had any shred of a conscience he would not sleep well at night. I hope justice will be served
JKwritingz Roger the dodger
JKwritingz What utter bs
JKwritingz Yeah he pissed in his pants!!!
JKwritingz We all called this last week!
JKwritingz Did this old man think about what he was doing to this country when they where stealing and he allowed it to happen...so he must get his ass to court to be prosecuted
JKwritingz Try him in absentia. Find him guilty, take back all his stolen money, confiscate his houses and let him go lie in a government hospital until the inevitable happens. Easy..
JKwritingz Zuma was fit as a fiddle in the ANC Conference this weekend but today is time for court he fakes an illness. What a wonderful time to be South African!
JKwritingz And I take it you aren’t inclined to dispute a medical condition does exist.
JKwritingz Trial must continue in his absence
JKwritingz The jokes keep writing themselves……
JKwritingz Impotency or incompetency?
JKwritingz VoetsekZuma!
JKwritingz 😡😡😡😡
JKwritingz 🤷🏾♂️🤣 OBVIOUS!!! 🤣😂
JKwritingz He is perhaps hoping to die rather than face justice. Delays say much about him thinking he will not be able to disprove guilt in corruption.
JKwritingz ..'poor seriously-ill-on-court-days yet fighting-fit-otherwise old man JacZuma😵💫suffering from a rare disease🥸occurring only on court days📅called stay-outta-jail-attitis⁉️'🙄
JKwritingz This overdrive obsession from capital, their African stooges and the lot dripping with mental slavery of pursuing an 80 year old man into jail is sickening. Say the criminal De Klerk is nicely dead, Where is the passion to pursue thieves like Steinhof for stealing R380 billion?
JKwritingz Special treatment for a rich criminal
JKwritingz Did Agrizzi disclose his?
JKwritingz Behind every successful person there's always a helper AmelieBtc1 is the person behind my success story she helped me earn R400,000. thanks for restoring my hope once again AmelieBtc1
JKwritingz I beginning to think that we should just forget about this man and just try and move on as a country. 🤷♂️
JKwritingz
JKwritingz 🤣
JKwritingz This Man has made a mockery of the Justice System for far too long. Let justice be served now in abstention if necessary.
JKwritingz Aw zakhala Nxamalala 😂😂😂
JKwritingz Münchausen Syndrome
JKwritingz No shit

JKwritingz Im a carpenter I got retrenched in 2020. Im struggling to find employment. My children often cry themselves to sleep because they sleep hungry😭. I don't feel like a man because of that💔. I ask for any food nearing their expiry date🙏🏻
JKwritingz Always coming with hide and sick tendencies
JKwritingz
JKwritingz Viva Msholozi viva
JKwritingz Loooooool
JKwritingz So 24 hours he was partying for his birthday and now he is sick, that is the type of excuse a 5 year old would give.
JKwritingz Sleepless nights i guess..the result of being JZ ...his plans never became as he expected unfortunately..he thought dynasty wl be his norm & his cronies the likes of Mzwanele..Ace ..Mahumapelo etc
JKwritingz uBaba cant be put in this unnecessary situation. 🤌
JKwritingz At school we used to call this sudden onset of illness Bunkalitis.
JKwritingz Syabangena ✊🏿, beating them in their own game. Taking notes Nxamalala
JKwritingz He's going to play this spiel until he is granted medical parole, just like Schabir Shaik. I guess Schabir needs a golf buddy.
JKwritingz Why can't you just leave the old man alone 🤷🏾♂️
JKwritingz Here we go again, How can law actually allow this bullshit any longer?
JKwritingz ja. and i'm the queen of England..come on now..
JKwritingz This guy wen it comes to delaying tactics, yoo yoo let's hope children will not be like this
JKwritingz Hawu! 👀
JKwritingz Fuck this Satan Jacob Zuma is a great pretender .
JKwritingz Want hy is siek in sy kop. Hy is n krimineel en oort in die tronk voetsekzuma
JKwritingz Unforeseen? The whole country foresaw this and knew it would happen. The only thing he “suffers” from is a rotten conscience and bloated ego.
JKwritingz Who selects this pics in this publication 🤣
JKwritingz What - did he forget to take a shower after the fact this time? PresJGZuma
JKwritingz Leave old man alone
JKwritingz If being shit-scared is a medical condition.....
JKwritingz Chaffalitis!!
