Thint case postponed to Dec

2008-08-04 14:00
line

Pietermaritzburg - Judge Chris Nicholson on Monday ordered that the criminal case against French arms manufacturing giant Thint be postponed until December 8.

The postponement was announced shortly after the Pietermaritzburg High Court had adjourned for a tea break.

State prosecutor Billy Downer said agreement had been reached between the State and Thint's legal team. Details of the agreement were not immediately disclosed in court.

"The case against accused two and three is postponed to Monday, 8th December, on conditions set out in an agreement [reached in chambers]," said Nicholson.

He released Thint chief executive Pierre Moynot from attending the court proceedings.

Thint is facing charges of fraud and corruption alongside African National Congress president Jacob Zuma - who has launched an application to have the decision to prosecute him declared unlawful.

Dewald says... @vegi correction. the land belonged to your chiefs...or did everyone own a couple thousand hectares? Who will benefit from the land distribution? Will you, Vegi, benefit from it? How do most middle class white people benefit from land being owned by white farmers? Let me tell you the big secret. We are able to buy food. That is absolutely the only reason. Im not talking about huge game farms and other land not being cultivated...by all means redistribute those. But for god sake we need our pap en vleis. What did Apartheid provide the ordinary middle class white person? Education. Only the TOP cats were awarded large pieces of land. So for the rest of us it has and always will be hard work and make sure your kids get a decent education. So what do we as nation need to demand first and for most. Better schools and at least another 10 to 15 world class universities, I’m not even counting colleges. Land is not gonna help if you dont possess skills or capital to develop it.
