Quick Fix 6 — 3/10/06

1. APhoto Fix: A police officer eats an ice lolly as stands in a cordon outside the High Court in Johannesburg, where former Deputy President Jacob Zuma is appearing on rape charges. Zuma's accuser told the court earlier today that nobody tried to influence her decision to file charges against the man who had been considered destined to become the next president of South Africa.
