Zuma: 'No medical proof of rape'

2006-03-29 11:24

Johannesburg - Jacob Zuma's rape accuser's medical report contained no proof of rape, his lawyer Kemp J Kemp told the Johannesburg High Court on Wednesday.

"She reported the incident in terms which clearly did not describe it as rape," Kemp submitted in final argument during his application for his client's discharge.

Her account of the alleged rape was filled with inconsistencies, he argued.

Kemp did not accept trauma specialist Merle Friedman's version that the woman did not resist because she froze.

He also told the court that the flurry of phone calls between people central to the case afterwards meant nothing.

There was nothing wrong with Zuma's aide Ranjeni Munusamy and KwaZulu-Natal Finance MEC Zweli Mkhize trying to get her to drop charges as long as they did nothing improper and there was no suggestion that they had.

Kemp contended that even though Zuma spoke to the complainant and to her mother after what the former deputy president believed was consensual sex, at no time did he apologise for rape.

Zuma stands accused of raping the woman at his home in Johannesburg on November 2.
