The Pietermaritzburg High Court ruled on Friday that the decision to prosecute ruling party leader Jacob Zuma on fraud and corruption charges was invalid.

Zuma faces a charge each of racketeering and money laundering, two charges of corruption and 12 charges of fraud related to the multi-billion rand government arms deal.

He was charged in 2005, but that case was struck from the roll in 2006. He was re-charged in December 2007.

A charge of racketeering and two counts of corruption are also faced by two Thint companies -- Thint Holding (Southern Africa) Pty Ltd and Thint (Pty) Ltd -- the South African subsidiaries of the French arms manufacturer Thales International (formerly Thomson-CFS).
