On Friday the Constitutional Court ruled in confirmation that Zuma had defamed Hanekom, the former chairperson of the ANC’s disciplinary committee.
Hanekom had lodged a R500 000 lawsuit after Zuma tweeted “I'm not surprised by @Julius_S_Malema revelations regarding @Derek_Hanekom. It is part of the plan I mentioned at the Zondo Commission. @Derek_Hanekom is a known enemy agent’’. Following a Durban High Court ruling in September last year that he should publicly apologise to Hanekom, delete the offensive tweet and pay damages to Hanekom, Zuma approached the highest court in the land to appeal the judgment.Hanekom said on Friday that he was relieved by the judgment. “It has been quite a long chapter with one appeal after the other, which affected us both.
"From the onset I felt very confident that I would win this case with the very strong and excellent legal team, but mainly because the case was so immensely winnable,” he told SABC News.“I am relieved and certainly I am feeling good about it.
