#SouthAfrica Court Reinstates Corruption charges against #Zuma

Local Editor

South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal [SCA] had upheld a ruling by the High Court that had reinstated corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma, piling further pressure on a head of state already facing several scandals.

Zuma was appealing against a High Court ruling in April 2016 that ordered a review of a decision by the National Prosecuting Authority [NPA] to set aside hundreds of corruption charges against Zuma. That decision allowed Zuma to run for President in 2009.
