Jacob Zuma to face charges of corruption
Former South African president Jacob Zuma is to face corruption charges over a €2.03 billion arms deal, prosecutors said, as a years-old scandal returned to haunt him after his fall from power. It was a surprising judicial development on a continent where powerful politicians normally escape the courts. Zuma, who was forced to resign by the African National Congress (ANC), was at the centre of a 1990s deal to buy European military material that cast a shadow over politics in South Africa for years.
