[JURIST] Prosecutors in the corruption trial of former South African Deputy President Jacob Zuma [ANC profile] asked a magistrate Tuesday to postpone the trial until Nov. 1 to allow for further investigation for possible additional charges. The prosecution also requested the case be moved to the High Court, but Zuma's lawyers argued [SAPA report] that the case could not be moved until a final indictment is issued.

The case has caused a rift in the African National Congress and has thrown the question of Mbeki's successor as president into confusion. AP has more.
