Paul Simon has agreed to testify in the embezzlement trial of prominent anti-apartheid activist Allan Boesak as long as he can do it via telephone or video from New York City.

The singer, who donated about $180,000 to Boesak's Foundation for Peace and Justice Charity, was responding to a request from the prosecutor's office, SABC-TV said Thursday. Simon cited his heavy work schedule as preventing him from traveling to South Africa in person.
