Former president Jacob Zuma's financial woes took centre stage in the Durban High Court on Friday where Zuma made his second court appearance on corruption and racketeering charges.
Zuma was meant to submit an application to have the National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA) decision to prosecute him reviewed by his lawyer, Michael Hulley, who told the court that due to issues relating to legal costs, they were unable to do so at this time.
Hulley did however indicate to the court that Zuma still planned to pursue this at a later stage.
Judge Mjabuliseni Madondo postponed the matter to July 27 at the High Court in Pietermaritzburg, as the Durban High Court would be under renovation at that time.
The embattled former president appeared in court on one count of racketeering, two counts of corruption, one count of money laundering, and 12 counts of fraud relating to 783 payments he allegedly received in connection with the controversial arms deal.
Zuma appeared alongside Christine Guerrier, vice-president of dispute resolution and litigation for Thales, France.
