Former president Jacob Zuma has criticised the Constitutional Court judgment that handed him a 15-month jail sentence for contempt, saying it was “judicially emotional and not consistent with our constitution”.

The foundation said that the “primacy of our constitution” was not upheld in Khampepe's majority judgment.

“At a bare minimum, this means that courts must act independently and without bias, with unremitting fidelity to the law, and must be seen to be doing so. That did not happen in the Constitutional Court, as evidenced by this judgment,” the statement read. “The principle of equality before the law was clearly violated, and the Zondo commission was given an advantage in a case that was adjudicated by DCJ Zondo's colleagues, whom he supervises,” the statement read.

Police will act on Concourt decision against Jacob Zuma, says Minister CeleLaw enforcement agencies will act on the Constitutional Court instructions if former president Jacob Zuma does not hand himself over, Police Minister Bheki Cele said. Kak. The SAPoliceService does not have the balls to do it The fact that it needs to be said worries me 🙄🙄 Let us not forget that this 15 month sentence is only for contempt of court. He has a lot more to answer for, by appearing before the requesting statutory bodies to explain his role in state capture. And eventually pay for those crimes by serving longer sentences.
