Zuma's First Tweet After A Warrant of His Arrest Is Issued

- Wednesday, February 05, 2020

Former President Jacob Zuma has surprised many when he tweeted a very thought provoking photos which is now trending on social platforms.

Zuma's tweet comes just a day after a warrant of his arrest was issued on Tuesday. Judge Dhaya Pillay issued the warrant on Tuesday, after Zuma's legal team applied for him to be absent from his corruption trial in the Pietermaritzburg high court on “medical” grounds.

Zuma's doctor's note from a military hospital was submitted to the Pietermaritzburg court by his lawyer, Daniel Mantsha, but Pillay refused to accept the document, saying there were inconsistencies in it.

Just moments after the court issued the warrant of his arrest his lawyer expressed his dissappointment at the fact that the note was not from a private doctor but from someone who is employed by the country's defense force.

On his tweet Zuma is seen carrying a rifle in what looks like either some kind of training or practice.
