The EFF has criticised the Pretoria high court decision to have Jacob Zuma sent back to prison, saying it is “political revenge' and 'malicious use of the law'.

In June Zuma was found guilty of contempt of court and sentenced for failing to appear before the state capture inquiry.

“The decision of the first respondent to place the third respondent on medical parole, taken on September 5 2021, is reviewed, declared unlawful and set aside,” read the judgment. TimesLIVE reported that Zuma’s lawyers applied for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal against the judgment.

They must go have tea with him again and console him.

Bass_Mad Who's revenging for what?

Nope just putting criminals where they belong

This life no balance,this life no balance, Jacob Zuma will never win any cases in South African courts

Why can't Zuma just face the state capture commission

Ka nnete

'Woodwork' Malema, no one declared Zuma arrest. Zuma just have to see his butt in prison, that is all. Should he so fail, gumbagumba shall duly collect him.

He has been part of drafting the constitution and approved even affirm to uphold it.

The 15 month sentence alone is ridiculous. They could have given him a month for that and then gone on with his trial. Why did the sentence have to be so extreme? He is an old man. He had a personal conflict with the judge..why couldn't they just change the judge?

Flip Floppers. Didn't they go to Nkandla to ask Zuma to go to jail? Waste of teabags.

A vambiwe!

Lobbying Fees indeed sometimes fighters must KISS a frog!

Revenge by who? The courts? Eff and madness are inseparable 🤞🏾

Zuma unlawfully ‘enjoying his sentence sitting at home’ is in breach of the rule of lawBecause of Arthur Fraser’s unlawful intervention, former president Jacob Zuma was “enjoying nearly three months of his sentence sitting at home in Nkandla [and] not serving his sentence in any meaningful sense,” the Pretoria high court said on Wednesday. Karma is a bitch Reports indicated that Fraser was mandated & authorized to grant parole. His decision was known to Ramaphosa & Lamola. If unlawful why was it not stopped and rejected at all costs in the first place? This issue will again plunge us into instability unless if that is the objective This Gauteng high court has a mandate.
