The ANC has wished its former president Jacob Zuma well after he handed himself over to serve a 15-month jail term for contempt of court.

“The ANC has always restated its unequivocal commitment to and defence of the constitution, in particular the supremacy of the constitution, the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary, among the founding principles and values of the Republic of South Africa.”“Former president Jacob Zuma’s decision to abide by the incarceration order was truly a brave and hard decision to make. We wish him well,” said Mabe.

“The IFP further reiterates its call for calm and restraint in respect of all groups of persons supporting former president Zuma that may wish to hold gatherings, as well as to comply with all Covid-19 regulations,” said Hlabisa. Freedom Front Plus leader Pieter Groenewald said his party welcomed that Zuma handed himself over but called on police to still arrest and prosecute those who arranged gatherings outside his home.He has clearly realised that he no longer has any political power and his initial bravado was just a smokescreen.

“He did the right thing and contrary to these 19-year-old so-called MK veterans, who were issuing threatening statements saying they are going to fight up until whatever. It's good that Zuma decided that not under his name that there will be a spill of blood,” said Holomisa.
