JOHANNESBURG - The Constitutional Court is hearing former President Jacob Zuma’s application for a rescission of his 15-month jail sentence for contempt.
Zuma filed papers to the apex court to rescind the verdict, citing health concerns among other reasons.
What landed him in trouble with the law was his refusal to testify before the state capture commission and ignoring the court's instructions to do so.
