After the fall: Why South Africa needs to move on from Jacob Zuma. now
It was quite a moment to see former president Jacob Zuma s motorcade sweep past the gate and onto the grounds of the Estcourt Correctional Centre shortly after 01:20 on Thursday. It was the culmination of a legal process which became emblematic of Zuma s entire, fraught political career. Delay, deny, ignore, dismiss, appeal and denigrate. Zuma simply refused to be subjected to the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, and then refused to abide by the court s rulings. In the end, justice was served, and Zuma went to prison. Without bloodshed and without the governing party subverting the process. The Constitution, battered, remains intact.
