The director of South Africa’s
National Prosecuting Authority says that former president Jacob Zuma will be
prosecuted on 16 charges of corruption.
Shaun Abrahams announced today
that Zuma will face charges including fraud, corruption, racketeering and money
laundering.
Zuma, 75, resigned as president
last month, after he was ordered to do so by his party, the African National
Congress. The charges stem from a $2.5 billion government arms purchase in
1999, when Zuma was deputy president. Zuma was elected president in 2009.
