“Judicially emotional and angry and not consistent with the Constitution” - that is how the Jacob Zuma Foundation responded to JacobZuma’s 15-month sentence handed down by the ConCourt.

In their statement, the foundation said they were still studying the judgment and did not pronounce on whether the former president would hand himself over to the police in Nkandla or Johannesburg as the Concourt had directed him to do so.

“Secondly, our patron has never believed that he is above the law or the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. On the contrary, he has always insisted that he must be treated like every other citizen, and his rights to equal protection of the laws must be respected and protected,” said the foundation.

“In other words, the focus must be on what kind of sentence will demonstrate that orders made by a court must be obeyed and, to Mr Zuma, that his contempt and contumacy is rebukeable in the strongest sense. Meanwhile, the foundation said the commission was bias and described it as a slaughter house, which, they said, had become like a “forum in which all kinds of unsubstantiated and defamatory allegations have been made against him ”.

“If true, it is unconstitutional and a serious conflict for the same ‘vilified’ panel of judges, which is supposedly embroiled in a running, bitter controversy with the alleged contemnor to preside as judges in their own case. No one so cruelly slandered is likely to maintain that calm detachment necessary for fair adjudication,” the foundation said.

I noticed a crowd of people giving testimony about LouiseConway86 helping them earn a huge amount of money from trading. So I decided to give it a try and to my surprise my first investment was just R11,000 and I received a profit of R90,000 A very reasonable amount

Haai! What he says now has no effect on the sentence. He is simply headed one way: jail.

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.
