South African prosecutors won a court order on Tuesday to seize 34 million rand in assets of a former aide to ex-Deputy President Jacob Zuma following a corruption scandal that has rocked the government. Durban High Court Judge Hilary Squires also ordered Schabir Shaik to pay some of the prosecution's legal costs in the case, which saw him convicted of a "generally corrupt" relationship with Zuma last year, lawyers said, reports Reuters.
