ConCourt judgment confirms key civil society role in upholding constitutional democracy, says CW

The judgment handed down by the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) yesterday, regarding the IEC’s appeal against the Electoral Court order on the eligibility of former president Jacob Zuma’s candidacy in the upcoming elections, represents a win for civil society, says Corruption Watch (CW). The ConCourt ruled that Zuma was not eligible or qualified to stand for election to the National Assembly (NA) based on his conviction and sentencing to 15 months imprisonment for contempt of court in 2021, after defying a court order to testify before the Zondo Commission. Section 47(1)(e) of the Constitution states that candidates are not eligible until five years after the completion of a sentence, with the result that the Electoral Court order is set aside and replaced, dismissing the former president’s appeal.
