Zuma has until Sunday to turn himself in or face arrest
The foundation representing South Africa's ex-president Jacob Zuma, sentenced to jail for defying a top court, condemned the judgment as unconstitutional Wednesday, as loyalists travelled to their ex-leader's home ahead of a deadline to turn himself in by the end of the week or face arrest.    
In an unprecedented ruling, the Constitutional Court on Tuesday convicted Zuma for "egregious" and "aggravated" contempt of court after he refused to comply with an order to appear before graft investigators.
