Pietermaritzburg – Former President Jacob Zuma has pleaded not guilty to all 18 charges of corruption, fraud and money laundering against him.
Suspended ANC secretary general Ace Magashule, KwaZulu-Natal Premier Sihle Zikalala and former Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba arrived early on Wednesday morning to support the former president in court.
Magashule was bombarded with questions as he arrived at the High Court in Pietermaritzburg.
The ANC’s national working committee has made the decision to investigate his conduct at a previous appearance of Zuma.
Magashule told media to be patient and allow party processes to take place. He also reiterated his support for the former president. These comments came after a crowd booed him last week.
“What is primary is that we are here to give support to Zuma… what other people are saying doesn’t matter,” said Zikalala.
The Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association also showed its support for Zuma, chanting battle songs outside the courthouse.
