SCA to rule in Zuma case

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - Jan 08 2009 13:14

The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) rules on Monday in the state's appeal against Judge Chris Nicholson's ruling in favour of presidential frontrunner Jacob Zuma, in a crucial credibility test for the National Prosecuting Authority.

Judgement will be handed down in a case that witnessed a face-off between Zuma, leader of the ruling African National Congress (ANC), and axed former president Thabo Mbeki.

Zuma will hear his fate two days after the ANC releases its 2009 election manifesto in the Eastern Cape on Saturday, which names him as its presidential candidate.
