South African judge to hand down final decision on previous corruption charges on Jan 12th 2009.

South African state lawyers launched an appeal against the dismissal of corruption charges against controversial ANC leader Jacob Zuma on Friday. South Africa’s national prosecuting authority the NPA is seeking to have a high court ruling from September 12th overturned on appeal. The judge accused former South African president Thabo Mbeki’s government of interfering in the case for political reasons. Mbeki denies the charge. Zuma was facing a charge of racketeering, four charges of corruption, a charge of money laundering and 12 charges of fraud, stemming from a controversial 5 billion dollar 1999 arms deal.
