The former president also took aim at the very court which had been asked to rule on the matter, saying there were signs that South Africa was descending into a “judicial dictatorship”.
“We have in South Africa today the gradual entrenchment of the counter-majoritarian problem. Unfortunately, when people rise up against this judicial corruption, our young democracy will unravel and many democratic gains will be lost in the ashes that will be left of what used to be our democratic state.”
In a scathing 127-page judgment, Justice Khampepe expressed concern that Zuma’s attacks on the judiciary could inspire others to follow suit unless he is stopped in his tracks. “Indeed, if we do not intervene immediately to send a clear message to the public that this conduct stands to be rebuked in the strongest of terms, there is a real and imminent risk that a mockery will be made of this court and the judicial process in the eyes of the public.
He was misled by his legal team. Their arguments did not make any substance. They made him believe that the commission was going to convict him. Instead only what he was asked for was to present his case as the former head of state. No one was convicted for testifying
He will play the victim, comparing himself to Nelson Mandela to gain support
Heh heh . Not cackling now

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.
