STORYLINE: South Africa's former deputy president Jacob Zuma celebrated with his supporters in Johannesburg on Monday after the judge hearing his rape case withdrew because the defence argued he might appear biased. After the hearing, Zuma addressed about 3-thousand supporters from a from a makeshift podium outside the Johannesburg High Court. Zuma explained to the crowd that the judge hearing the rape case had withdrawn from the case. The case could destroy the political career of Jacob Zuma, 63, who once seemed certain to succeed President Thabo Mbeki. Mbeki fired Zuma in June after he was implicated in the corruption scandal and in December, Zuma was charged with raping a 31-year-old family friend at his house in Johannesburg. Despite reservations, Judge Bernard Ngoepe said he felt the need to avoid even the appearance of bias was paramount. Monday's proceedings had begun with police escorting Zuma's accuser, her faced hidden in a scarf, past several hundred Zuma supporters and about a dozen members of People Opposing Woman Abuse. Outside the High Court, the crowd whistled and chanted "Give me my gun". Zuma sang and danced with the crowd, and promised to thank his supporters properly at the end of his rape trial. The crowd chanted "Zuma, Zuma, Zuma" as he left the High Court.

Zuma supporters singing STORYLINE An appeal against a judgement which invalidated charges against African National Congress president Jacob Zuma started in South Africa on Friday. Zuma made a low key arrival which largely went unnoticed by supporters gathered at Hertzog Square opposite the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein. Local residents seemed oblivious to the significance of the case that will be heard by five judges and which involves the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), former president Thabo Mbeki and ANC president Zuma. The NPA is seeking to have a Pietermaritzburg High Court ruling from September 12 overturned on appeal. In that ruling the judge said that the NPA's decision to charge Zuma was unlawful because he had not been allowed to make representations to the National Director of Public Prosecutions before he was charged. Zuma was facing a charge of racketeering, four charges of corruption, a charge of money laundering and 12 charges of fraud. Mbeki was expected to get 45 minutes to argue why he should be allowed to intervene in the battle between the NPA and Zuma or be admitted to the legal fray as a friend of the court. Mbeki wants to be allowed to challenge the judge's inferences of political meddling against him, which he claims led the ANC to recall him from his position as president of the country.

Wide of press conference STORYLINE: Jacob Zuma pledged on Thursday to work smoothly with South African President Thabo Mbeki, the man he defeated this week in a bitter contest to lead the governing African National Congress. Giving the closing speech of the 52nd ANC conference Zuma told delegates to the ANC national conference he and Mbeki would develop smooth working relations, and called him his comrade, friend and brother of 30 years. Zuma's victory on Tuesday meant that for the first time since apartheid ended, South Africa's president was not also the ANC's leader. That had sparked speculation Mbeki might step down before his term as the nation's president ends in 2009, though an Mbeki aide said earlier on Thursday he was not considering that. Zuma concentrated in his speech on the future of the ANC and South Africa. "We have taken various resolutions at this conference, which will guide us on our way forward. And certainly they will also guide us as to how we operate from here going forward." He also addressed questions over his economic policies, amid fears he would veer sharply to the left because of pressure from poor blacks and the labour and Communist Party officials who backed his bid for ANC leadership. Zuma also said the ANC must work with government to build a caring society, and noted the party supports calls to redistribute 30 percent of South Africa's land to those hurt by apartheid by 2014. Zuma was speaking to a large crowd, including Mbeki, who sat in the front row of delegates in the hall. Zuma had rallied ANC members who wanted a change from Mbeki, who guided post-apartheid South Africa to sustained economic growth over the past few years, but has been accused of moving too slowly to lift millions out of poverty. In his speech Zuma promised to live up to his word, and he indicated that if delegates were not happy with his work, those who put him in could also take him out. "If you feel that we are not serving you in a manner that you want to be served. That is the essence of democracy. Leaders lead through the will and graciousness of the people," Zuma said. Mbeki fired Zuma as the country's deputy president in 2005 after Zuma's financial adviser was convicted of trying to elicit a bribe for Zuma to deflect investigations into an arms deal. Charges were withdrawn against Zuma, but the top prosecutor said on Thursday he had enough evidence to take the case back to court Zuma said on Thursday that he would answer any allegations "in court" but said the allegations against him were "twisted, doctored" The conference closed with the trademark ANC anthem sang in the Sotho language, one of several native languages of South Africa.

Mid of Thabo Mbeki sitting alongside Jacob Zuma STORYLINE: The current President of the African National Congress (ANC), Thabo Mbeki, and its former deputy, Jacob Zuma, were formally nominated for the post of party president on Monday, a day later than expected largely due to a public rivalry that had delegates contesting even how the votes would be counted. The governing ANC lurched toward a leadership vote, a usually smooth, private process, which was slowed by a bitter rivalry, with voting among some 4,000 delegates to start early on Tuesday. Zuma, a populist former guerrilla fighter backed by the left was expected to win, putting him in line to run for, and likely win, the country's presidency in 2009. Mbeki has faced sharp rejection during the party congress that opened on Sunday, with delegates calling for a change from his aloof manner and what some call his failure to satisfy a black majority still awaiting housing, jobs and services 13 years after the end of apartheid. One voting delegate, ahead of nominations, said that there was no ill feeling towards Mbeki. The divide has been played out so far in debates over procedural matters. The ANC Youth League, for instance, proposed that ballots in the leadership race be hand counted, expressing scepticism about computer balloting set up by a party election committee seen as close to Mbeki. Monday saw delegates singing and chanting the praises of their candidates during rallies as they made their way into the huge white tent erected for the conference. Some waved their hands in three-fingered salutes, indicating they wanted a third term for Mbeki, while Zuma supporters signalled their desire for change by rolling one hand over another, as if to call for a substitute during a football game. "Most majority of people wants JZ (Jacob Zuma). And besides that (inaudible) we should make sure he becomes the next president of the ANC," said Oupa Mokoena, an ANC voting delegate. "Jacob Zuma is going to win. It is natural that he is the president of the ANC. Now (inaudible) he must succeed the president of the ANC," said another delegate, Joseph Sodiya. During the decades it was an underground movement fighting apartheid, the ANC prided itself on presenting a united front the top party post hadn't been publicly contested in 55 years. During the initial nomination process last month in the ANC's provincial and other internal bodies, Zuma was far ahead of Mbeki. It was a remarkable political comeback after a rape trial which ended with Zuma's acquittal but left lingering questions about his judgment and a pending investigation for corruption. Much has been made of the personality and class differences between Mbeki and Zuma, former allies who are both 65 and spent years in exile during apartheid. Mbeki is a foreign-educated academic who sprinkles his speeches with Shakespeare. Zuma had no formal schooling, was a leader of then exiled ANC's military wing, and, like Nelson Mandela, served time on Robben Island. If Zuma wins, he would be in line to be the party's candidate for president of the country in the 2009 elections. The ANC candidate would likely win, given the party's wide support. Mbeki is barred by the constitution from seeking a third term as president of Africa's political and economic powerhouse. But remaining at the helm of the ANC would give him a say in who succeeds him and in the policies his successor adopts.
