South African
President Jacob Zuma has lost two court cases in one day, both linked to
corruption allegations.
Pretoria’s High Court
ordered Mr Zuma to set up a judicial inquiry, calling him “seriously reckless”
for challenging recommendations by a watchdog in a case against him.
In the second case, a
judge ruled he had abused the judicial process by trying to block a report on
corruption, ordering him to pay legal fees.
Mr Zuma quits as ANC
leader next week. In his 10-year term he has been dogged by allegations of
corruption, all of which he denies.
In the first ruling,
the court gave Mr Zuma 30 days to appoint an inquiry into allegations of
corruption against him and his associates.
