DURBAN - It's taken months of legal wrangling and some bold threats - but former President Jacob Zuma is finally behind bars. He is now a resident of the Estcourt Correctional Centre in KwaZulu-Natal.
After a number of dramatic days leading up to his imprisonment, Zuma's speeding convoy left his Nkandla homestead before the midnight deadline set by the Constitutional Court. He is the first president of democratic South Africa to be arrested, and the first president of South Africa ever to be jailed.
