Jaco Zuma and Justice Zondo
Durban – In a bombshell statement on Monday morning, former president Jacob Zuma told the country he will openly defy a Constitutional Court ruling that compelled him to surrender himself to the Zondo commission and answer questions posed to him.
In a statement Zuma personally issued (not from his legal team or his foundation as usual), he said for far too long the country’s judiciary had thrown out the rule of fairness and made rulings solely aimed at humiliating him.
He added the Zondo commission had taken a leaf from the book of former Public Protector, Professor Thuli Madonsela, who he alleged during her tenure in office created “a special and different approach to specifically deal with him”.
