Former President Zuma Appears in Court, Fights Order to Repay Legal Fees

Former South African President Jacob Zuma returned to court on Thursday. His appearance is part of a long-running corruption case linked to a major arms deal. Separately, Zuma is fighting a court order to repay $1.6 million. This sum covers state-funded legal fees from his past corruption defense. A judge previously ruled that the state should not have paid for his personal legal battles. Zuma is now appealing that judgment. He insists he is not personally liable for the money.
