Judge postpones Zuma's corruption trial

The corruption trial of would-be South African president Jacob Zuma was postponed today until September, and prosecutors may request for an even longer delay.

Also today, 25 politicians and four travel agents were to go on trial in Cape Town, accused of defrauding Parliament of up to 24 million rands (€2.6m) by using vouchers intended for official travel to pay for luxury holidays, meals and car rentals. The two cases highlight South Africa’s struggle to clean up government corruption.
