JOHANNESBURG — A legal showdown is looming in South Africa where former president Jacob Zuma is refusing to obey court orders to testify at a judicial inquiry into corruption charges against him.
Zuma has been warned that he is not above the law after he publicly stated that he intends to defy a court order to appear at the inquiry.
It is a test of whether President Cyril Ramaphosa will be able to follow up on his promises to take decisive action against pervasive corruption.
