South Africa's president denies corruption charges

He admitted that ``there are many matters that could have been handled differently’’ and apologised ``on my behalf and that of the government.’’

South African President Jacob Zuma listens at a news conference in Cape Town, in this June 14, 2005 file photo.

Zuma addressed the nation on television a day after the Constitutional Court ruled that his failure to accept a recommendation from the public protector that he repaid part of the money was a violation of the constitution.

``I did not act dishonestly or with any personal knowledge of irregularities,’’ Zuma said.

However, the speech disappointed many South Africans who had expected Zuma to announce his resignation.
