This is according to ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule who briefed the media on the outcomes of the marathon meeting between the national officials of the governing party with Zuma, which he said was held between 10:30am and 05:30pm on Monday.

This comes as Zuma missed the deadline to file answering papers in the Zondo commission’s contempt of court application at the Constitutional Court, where the inquiry is calling for him to be handed a two-year jail term if he is found guilty.

The ANC’s officials have, however, could not convince the former head of state as he pointed out his constitutional rights and gave them an “extensive presentation” on why he had snubbed the commission, Magashule said. Magashule said the party’s official had resolved to let Zuma consult his lawyers on what he wanted to do in relation to his current legal problems.

Magashule said there was agreement that while upholding the constitution was important, individual rights were also important, which Zuma said he was claiming.
