Zuma judgment reserved Mauritius refuses to help Zuma Zuma 'had time to burn papers'

Johannesburg - African National Congress president Jacob Zuma's case in Mauritius has been postponed, the SABC reported on Friday.

The case has been postponed to May 7.

Ayesha Jeewa, Zuma's lawyer, told SABC News that the case had been postponed because the defence team wanted to study the affidavit filed by Mauritian Attorney-General Rama Valayden.

The Attorney-General's office said it had filed the affidavit to oppose Zuma's bid to stop the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) from getting access to documents for its corruption case against him.

Valayden is opposing Zuma's bid to stop the documents from being sent to South Africa, said the SABC.

Zuma's corruption trial is scheduled to start in August in the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
