Mzwanele Manyi says Jacob Zuma was not afforded the rights other criminals are afforded. File photo.Jacob Zuma’s spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi says the former president was not afforded the rights other criminals are afforded after his sentencing to 15 months in prison.
The Constitutional Court on Tuesday found the former president guilty of contempt of court after he failed to comply with an order to appear before the state capture inquiry., Manyi said Zuma’s camp noted the judgment was not unanimous. He alleged Zuma’s right to appeal the judgment was “taken away”, and Zuma will go to jail without being offered the same rights “other criminals are afforded”.
“We have a situation where, when the court likes, they treat the case as if it is a civil case. When they like, they treat the person like a criminal. Zuma has a criminal sentence but was not afforded the rights other criminals are afforded,” said Manyi. , Zuma’s son Edward said law enforcement officers would have to kill him before they arrest this father.“My position has been known and I still maintain that whatever decisions are taken by law enforcement agents , they will have to kill me before such a thing is implemented,” said Edward.
We r not equal eMzansi poor man always feels it 🤞👍
MzwaneleManyi did u call him criminal?
Criminals belong to jail , and so is Jacob Zuma he claims to have spent 10 years in Prison under apartheid 15 Months is nothing for him let him go to prison where he will have all his rights there
Jacob Zuma himself said South Africa constitution protects criminal and lawlessness than ordinary citizens. I agree he too wanted to exploit its weaknesses unfortunately he didn't succeed. He was given special treatment he demanded
😬👀
ZUMA had more chances than any other mere mortal and he squandered his preferential treatment. He was ill advised and should sue all of those advisors for damages! JGZ_Foundation
Is this a confession?
So u say Ada criminals? U agree he is one of dem?
JIMMY must tell us who formed and owns his political party ATM
'Other criminals' what are you saying kahle hle😂
MzwaneleManyi Jimmy...Do you realize that you admitted that JZ is a criminal?😂🤣😅
I heard “death is one way to escape accountability” - from the book of Manto
Mxm! This Jimmy MzwaneleManyi person. Aaaah!
Yawn - fuck off doos
Criminals you say!!!
You all know Zuma’s days are numbered That’s right he also can’t count🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣😂😅 JZ is a criminal so said Mzwanele Manyi
Tsek.
1. Other criminals are transported from jail to court for hearings, they can't stay away. 2. Other criminals don't get 5 days to report for jail terms, they go straight to jail after sentencing. 3. As a public figure he should set the example.
I'm grateful to be alive, to hear JZ being referred to as criminal by one of his own. Wow
This judgment doesn’t mean Zuma is guilty but only game of power and authority, To me this is oppression from the oppressors of sons of soil!
Lol.. he is not an ordinary criminal MzwaneleManyi my brother, he is a criminal ex state president phela...thats PresJGZuma for you
When English and Honesty collide, truth is revealed
He had the right to testify at the zondo commission, now he's crying?
This sentence is a joke. He will not spend one day in prison. We all know this. Junk criminal system in this country. Banana Republic
Really...... 😂😂😂😂Please make other jokes, this one does not work!!!
I agree with them! The process of trial was designed special for Jacob Zuma. Nobody ever got trial in his/her absence before any court in SA and be punished with punitive costs order without taking part in the litigation processes.The only mentioned above only applied to Zuma.
Twak!!
Criminal indeed😂😂😂
Tsebe fokol woo!
There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting about Trader_mark1 it has been a pleasure collaborating with you...there is no other way I can show my appreciation other than tweeting the good deed you have done
Other Criminals?😲🤷
Other criminals? Guess we might as well get used to it from now on..
But he agrees he is a criminal then
So Manyi agrees former President Jacob Zuma is a criminal? Okay
Unxilile lowo
Did uJimmy just call his new boss a criminal ? 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's funny So, Manyi says JZ is a criminal, he did not get the same rights as OTHER criminals. At least he is honest about 1 thing. But let's face it, Zuma received a lot of leniency that a normal person.
Got a bit amused,fascinated from his admission 'he was not afforded rights OTHER CRIMINALS are afforded.' This one is gonna lose his job quickly 🤭😂
The likes of Manyi must stop talking Rubbish!! Defending Thieve's and Looter's!
Zumas people chow his money for nothing...
Since when has Jimmy Manyi become a law expert
ANC politics is at play here, just count when the 15 months will end starting from Friday next week. Remember 2022 ANC national conference.
He was given the opportunity to prove himself right as his constitutional right in ConCourt but he failed to convince the judges, so he got his chance and blew it
Thanks Jimmy for the clarification, 🙈🤪, other cases are loading and he will be treated like others 🤓
Jimmy Manyi has just called Zuma a criminal? It is already getting too hot for poor Jimmy
Whilst you are running around and reporting irrelevant things more and more people are loosing their jobs and they cant do anything about it because of this lock down
I think MzwaneleManyi should leave spokespersonship to qualified people. Now he calls JZ criminal. kgomo where are you?
At least he calls him a criminal
He was given more than any other criminal in this country.
BraBobM Damn a whole spokesman that couldn't find a better word to use, perhaps convicted person would have been much better.
👀👀👀👀🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😳😳😳🧐🧐🧐🧐🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
As for 'other criminals '...admission right there 🤣🤣🤣
Hebanna! Jimmy mang..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Criminal
He just conceded that Jacob Zumba is a criminal. “Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.” PresJGZuma
He has had his time to do the right thing. Most people don't get as many chances as Zuma had.
MzwaneleManyi Jacob Zuma was given more rights and leeway than ordinary citizens. And, given the economic damage Zuma has done, he should man up and take responsibility for his mistakes.
xtnaa1 Prisoners should only have rights to meals,water a bed and a toilet.
at least he admits he is a criminal !
He is no other criminal 🤷🏾♂️
😂😂 he wasn't afforded the rights like those of other criminals
This guy is a joke. Shame on him protecting JZ. All the legal facts and arguments are confirmed that the Chief Justice made the correct ruling. We salute her today.
Lol, 🤣😂 who still buy into bell pottinger propaganda wena Jimmy Manyi? We all know Zuma gave Con Court a middle finger JGZ_Foundation
Zondo rolled the red carpet on the fire pool for this special criminal.
Mzwa just called him a criminal 🤣🤣🤣.
Jimmy 'comes to joburg' calling uBaba a criminal.
Manyi what a spokesperson.He tells as it is no spinning.'He was not afforded the rights other criminals are afforded' No spinning.Thats what he is.Manyi is a breath of fresh air. Well done Mzwanele.
Did he really say 'other criminals' 🤣
Even Mzwandile confirms that Zuma is a criminal who hasn't been afforded his rights like other criminals. Well done Jimmy.
He called him a criminal 🤣🤭
SO HE IS A CRIMINAL NOW? OR DID YOU SAY IT WRONG?
What rights? Nobody seems to mention the rights Manyi is referring to.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So Jimmy says Zuma is a criminal 😂😂😂😂😂
It is only during apartheid where people were incarcerated without any trial
So you admit Zuma is a criminal .
Stop lying
'Other criminals'... Are u sure those are his words 🤣🤣? Then he is my favourite spokesperson to indirectly call uBaba a ',criminal' that wasn't afforded his rights like other criminals 😂😂🤦
MzwaneleManyi you being misquoted here! Hurry this side sinning maestro!!!
Minority Judgment said the same thing
But these are not Manyi’s words. I doubt he would label him a criminal.
Glad he admits he is a criminal
Wait. He called him a criminal? 🤔 🤔 🤔
Other criminals🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Other criminals? Jimmy MzwaneleManyi
