NPA Halt Corruption Charges Against Duduzane Zuma

Charges Against Duduzane Zuma Have Been Temporarily Pulled Back.




Defilement accusations against Duduzane Zuma were stopped in the Johannesburg Specialized Commercial Crime Court on Thursday to enable a key witness to get done with giving testimony at the Zondo commission of Inquiry into state capture. 

"The reason this matter is provisionally withdrawn is to allow one of our key witnesses to conclude leading evidence at the state capture inquiry and it has also been indicated that such a witness might be cross-examined by Mr Zuma," National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane Aldo said on Thursday.

Duduzane Zuma

Duduzane Zuma, child of previous president Jacob Zuma, was accused in July 2018 of corruption, alternatively conspiracy to commit corruption, identifying with an asserted R600m pay off offer made to previous deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas in 2015 by a Gupta sibling in his essence. 

The NPA denied that it had been not well arranged or that the temporary withdrawal had been allowed in light of the fact that Duduzane was the previous president's child. 

The Gupta sibling, whom Jonas had distinguished as either Rajesh or Ajay, had purportedly offered Jonas the position of finance minister at the family's Saxonwold compound in return for advancing the privately-owned company's interests. 

Duduzane Zuma and the Guptas deny Jonas' cases. They state he met Duduzane Zuma and previous arms deal counselor Fana Hlongwane over bits of gossip that Hlongwane was extorting him. Jonas is relied upon to be questioned about this experience at the commission.
