'Zuma will return to court as president'

"I just want to ask those who are behind this case if they would be proud to prosecute their own president, and embarrass their own country." asks Julius - Talk about embarrassing! As the late Helen Suzman was referenced recently "it is not the questions that are embarrassing the country but possibly the answers that are"

Very interesting assumptions you are making. Are you sure our president will return to court. My bet is the ANC will challenge the constitution and anything else with impunity until this problem "goes away". Sorry to be such a cynic but if this happens we will always have a president who will be assumed to have been guilty of corruption in the 'Court of Public Opinion". Jacob Zuma asked for his 'day in court', so why has he been trying to avoid it? Guilty, innocent... we will never know, what we do already know is that he chooses not to go to court! How will he go about fullfilling his promise to root our corruption in Government?

Malema and his arrogance is what is embarassing South Africa!

Bob ... sorry, I mean JZ ... it's time to show some leadership skills and do what is better for the country rather than better for your own personal interests. Step down and save the country this embarassment which Malema refers to. It's very simple!

I think this is a mess & somebody destroyed the case from the start. I can't understand why Zuma was not prosecuted 5 yrs ago if there was evidence. I think this case should be sped up in the interest of the country.
Excellent

It could only embarrass the country if Zuma is found to be guilty ! Could it be that Malema also believes that Zuma will be found guilty if tried ???

I am wondering what axactly this battle against president of the ANC is heading to.I guess there is still a lot to be learned by Jullius Malema as he continue to issue unfounded statements after one another, what kind of leadership are we going to have in the near future?.

Some really good points made here - it will indeed only be embarrassing if he's found guilty. I liked the quote from Helen Suzman too. All of this is assuming that the ANC wins the forthcoming elections though. I live in hope, hope for cope but can only cope with a DA vote.

The suggestion that Zuma has stalled the prosecution is false because only 2 out of 8 court appearances where from Zuma side.The people are hasty to point out the less than 6month delay caused by Zuma and forget the 8 years of the NPA why? People are irrational against Zuma and blame him for everything.And are infringing our constitution by convicting him before he has even been tried.But because it Zuma its ok.
Anyone could insult him spit on his face and it wouldn't be a big deal 'cause it's Zuma.People tend to forget that he too has feelings and for people to have such deep and unwarranted hate for you just because you came up against Mbeki ,who has unleashed the media on you.But to still remain resolute is exampliraly and I salute him.He is a true soldier.

If anyone was in Jacob Zuma position I hope they have half the gall he has.The struggle goes on for Zuma as the SA public Oppresses him.Even if he were to be found not guilty ,they would not be content with that.Viva Zuma Viva!!!

The JZ case has caused a lot of problems in the ANC and continues to do so and that hurts me as young black man with great love for the greatest black movement in the world,i think it is high time for the current NEC to relook the JZ Issue,it is either we are going to risk the country's values(as per Malema) or we(The ANC)are going to allow an individual to look at his personal problems at no cost to the organisation or the country.

Or will we see the ousting of yet another ANC President(JZ) in the next two years due to a vote of no confidence from parliament.

We may talk until the next eclipse....I believe if our leaders had our country's best interests at heart, they would stop with this bickering....from where I stand I don't see any of them being fit for running the country. If they were, they would consider what good does it do our country if they keep bickering like teenagers....We too in our country need a change. We need leaders who will not only consider themselves as human beings but as leaders who have been chosen to lead and therefore leave their lives setting out examples. We need leaders who will serve our needs and not their pockets. We don't need power mongers and money mongers. We need leaders with bigger views about our country and better plans to get there. How do we expect them to lead us us when they are busy fighting each other for the positions.....Fellow South Africans, these are our lives, we are blessed by a beautiful country, let us not drag it down.....

Zimbali Khwela says "People are irrational against Zuma and blame him for everything.And are infringing our constitution by convicting him before he has even been tried. But because it Zuma its ok."
Zimbali if you are following what is happening in this Zuma case you will know what is the current issue right now. " JZ is trying by all means not to be tried, he is avoiding his day in court that he once ascked for. If he knows that he won't be convicted if he goes to court then why is he avoiding it ?

Judges, commentators, bias newsrooms, analysts and minor political parties can whinge until the sun hits the moon or vice versa, Zuma is not entering the gates of the jail. Not in my generation.
I can bet on that...
