Former deputy president Jacob Zuma will be prosecuted on two counts of corruption, the National Prosecuting Authority said in Pretoria on Monday. Zuma was sacked last week following the ruling by Durban High Court judge Hilary Squires, who found that he had a "generally corrupt" relationship with his friend Schabir Shaik, who acted as his financial advisor. "This afternoon advocate [Vusi] Pikoli informed deputy president [Jacob] Zuma that he has decided to bring criminal charges against his person. Such charges will be constituted by, among others, two counts of corruption," spokesperson Makhosini Nkosi said on Monday.
