Zuma latest: Constitutional Court to hear JZ’s rescission application
Depending on how the Constitutional Court rules, former president Jacob Zuma could find himself in the comfort of his Nkandla homestead soon
All eyes will once again be on the Constitutional Court on Monday morning, 12 July 2021, as it will deliver judgement on former president Jacob Zuma’s application to have the 15-month prison sentence, rescinded.
Here’s a recap: The apex court slapped Zuma with the sentence after finding him guilty of contempt – a decision that was in favour of the State Capture Commission. The commission, headed by Deputy Chief Justice (DCJ) Raymond Zondo, had approached the Constitutional Court after Zuma refused to take the stand and answer to legions of corruption allegations – this was in violation of a previous order granted by the same court.
