Pietermaritzburg high court judge Piet Koen on Wednesday postponed Jacob Zuma’s arms deal corruption trial until 30 January 2023 to allow him to consider whether he should continue to preside over it.
“Upon careful reflection, I have concluded that the issue of my continued involvement as presiding judge in this trial, needs in the interests of justice to be addressed,” Koen said.
He added that, for the sake of the integrity of the trial, this needed to happen before he decided any of the other issues argued before the court on Monday.
