Tullow defends legal action
Tullow won a temporary injunction in a British Virgin Islands court on September 21 against the development or resale of the blocks along the Ugandan border, which now belong to companies owned by Khulubuse Zuma, the nephew of South African President Jacob Zuma. Tullow has also lodged a case against Congo at the International Court of Arbitration in Paris.
Zuma’s companies, Caprikat and Foxwhelp, both registered in the British Virgin Islands, received a presidential decree to exploit the blocks that were previously awarded, though not decreed, to Tullow.
