Court to decide Zuma’s fate
Published:Monday | January 12, 2009 | 9:14 AM
An appeal court is to decide today whether Jacob Zuma, the leader of South Africa\'s governing ANC, should be recharged with corruption and fraud.
Judges are to decide if an earlier high court ruling dismissing charges against Mr. Zuma was correct.
If the judgement goes in favour of the state prosecutors, the case against Mr. Zuma could be reinstated.
The ANC leader is widely tipped to become the country\'s next president after upcoming elections.
The 65 year old has always denied charges of graft, money laundering and racketeering, stemming from a controversial $5 billion arms deal in1999.
He has said he would only resign from public office if convicted.
