Cosatu's first deputy president Joe Nkosi told an ANC election rally in North West that the party's deputy president Jacob Zuma will not go to jail for his alleged rape or corruption cases, SABC reported on Sunday.

Hundreds of Congress of SA Trade Union (Cosatu) members again pledged their support for Zuma, whose rape trial starts on February 13 and the corruption trial on July 31.

Nkosi emphasised that Zuma will be the next ANC president.

"Those who are dreaming that JZ (Jacob Zuma) will go to a case of rape on 13th of February, will go to a case in July and think that in all those cases they will find JZ guilty, those people are dreaming," said Nkosi.

"Whether comrades, they like it or they don't like it, ...Msholozi 2007.. is going to lead this movement."
