Judge Phillip Levensohn on Monday granted the National Prosecuting Authority's request for a letter requesting Mauritian authorities to hand over documentation pertaining to alleged meetings between ANC deputy president Jacob Zuma, convicted businessman Schabir Shaik and French arms manufacturer Thint.

The decision was handed down in the Durban high court.

The documents, about Zuma's role in the arms deal, include the 2000 diary of Alain Thetard, former chief executive of Thales International's South African subsidiary Thint (Pty) Ltd.

Zuma was not present in court.
