Jacob Zuma is acquitted in rape trial

← Back to Dashboard
Organization history 📅 9 May 2006 📍 South Africa

The High Court acquitted Jacob Zuma after a trial in which he denied rape. ANC records state that he resumed his duties as deputy president of the organisation after the verdict; he had already lost the state deputy-presidency in 2005. This event is recorded as a legal outcome and party leadership development, without treating an acquittal as a finding about complainants beyond the court’s judgment.
