The corruption case against former South African president Jacob Zuma has been delayed until late next month, while Zuma took to a stage near the courthouse on Friday before thousands of cheering supporters and again declared his innocence. He had been deputy president at the time. Without providing details, Zuma said people who criticize him should not "provoke" him because he would reveal allegedly incriminating information about them. Judge Mjabuliseni Madondo said the case in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court will be moved from Durban to Pietermaritzburg, which has bigger facilities, for July 27. Zuma believes the state should pay his legal fees, though opposition parties have argued in court that taxpayers should not foot the bill.
