South African court issues arrest warrant for Zuma

Agency Reporter

SOUTH African judge said she was left with no choice but to issue former President Jacob Zuma with an arrest warrant after he failed to appear in court on Monday.

Zuma’s legal team said he was receiving medical care outside the country. But Pietermaritzburg High Court Judge Dhaya Pillay was skeptical of the document they submitted as evidence of Zuma’s illness, calling it “puzzling” and questioning if it was even signed by a medical doctor.
