'Supremacy of the law': Political parties react after Jacob Zuma hands himself overThe ANC and opposition political parties have spoken to the supremacy of the law and the Constitution in reaction to the former president handing himself over to police. It explains the cold. I am pleasantly surprised by this anomaly in South African justice No supremacy of the law, only supremecy of individuals over the law. They’re a law unto themselves! A clear miscarriage of justice
