Mbeki is to blame for that and HE is one of those that warned about Zuma.

Zuma should have been tried simultaneously along with Schabir Shaik as happens in most bribery, corruption and consiracy trials.

But no, Mbeki put party before country and protected Zuma from prosecution, firing him instead and hoping he would go away quietly.

He even offered him a pay-off / gratuity, apparently using his own money, but was turned down.

You reap what you sow.
