Zuma trial reaches a climax

Closing arguments will begin in the Jacob Zuma rape trial in the Johannesburg High Court today. The State will have a last chance of convincing the court that Zuma lured a HIV-positive woman into his house before allegedly raping her in November last year. The complainant has testified that she twice turned down Zuma’s offers for a massage before the alleged rape took place. Zuma’s defence team is expected to continue its attack the complainant’s sexual history, saying that she has cried rape on a number of occasions before. Several witnesses gave evidence in this regard.
