corruption, and money laundering against former president Jacob Zuma has been
postponed.
Zuma briefly appeared in the Durban High Court on Friday.
State advocate Billy Downer, told the court the parties agreed to postpone the matter to 27 July to allow Zuma's legal team to "get its house in order".
"Mr [Michael] Hulley and I have discussed the funding issue," Downer told the court. "He said that he needs more time to make funding arrangements and by the next holding date, he hopes to have an answer."
