THE Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Zimbabwe has pleaded with South Africa’s political leadership and the judiciary to treat the country’s jailed former president, Jacob Zuma with respect and dignity.
The opposition party said South Africa’s leadership and the judiciary should have opted for a political solution rather than incarcerate the former head of state and government.
South Africa’s Constitutional Court jailed Zuma for 15 months in jail after he declined to appear before a commission investigating state-capture corruption allegations during his nine-year tenure as president.
Zuma started serving his jail term last week.
Addressing journalists at the Bulawayo Media Centre Friday, (EFF) Zimbabwe President Innocent Ndibali said putting Zuma in prison at the age of 79 years of age was a humiliation and “unAfrican” considering that he is one of South Africa’s liberators.
