Organization history 📅 7 April 2009 📍 South Africa

The National Prosecuting Authority formally withdrew the prosecution of Zuma and French arms company Thint in the Durban High Court. The decision followed Zuma’s representations after the Supreme Court of Appeal ruling. The charges were withdrawn rather than decided at trial, leaving a major legal and political dispute unresolved as the ANC prepared to form the next government.
