 South African former president Jacob Zuma, who's jailing earlier this month triggered some of the worst unrest of the post-apartheid era, appeared by video link in court on Monday to seek a further delay in his arms deal corruption trial. While the government has largely restored order in the streets, there are fears Zuma's latest court appearance could gain trigger protests or could again rather trigger protests from his support base efforts to persecute the ex-president for allegedly receiving kickbacks over a $2 billion weapons deal in the late 1990s are seen as a test of South Africa's ability to hold powerful politicians through account. Zuma has pleaded not guilty to the charges, including corruption, fraud and money laundering. He has cast himself as a victim of a politically motivated witch hunt in his attempts to evade persecution of a more than a decade.
