2009
A high court in South Africa has postponed the corruption trial hearing for ruling African National Congress leader Jacob Zuma until 25 August.
Outside the Pietermaritzburg court, Mr Zuma told thousands of supporters if he quit it would be like admitting guilt.
The ANC leader is favourite to become president after general elections expected between March and July.
Correspondents say it means he may emerge from the polls with a criminal prosecution hanging over his head.
But if he wins a separate challenge to the case in South Africa's highest court - the charges will be dropped.
