and a raft of commentators pointing to the danger of Zuma — and expedient allies with more significant political currency — accusing judges of bias.
Insisting that he would rather be jailed than comply with the court or the commission, Zuma added that he had suffered abuse from the courts for some 20 years; that some on the bench were “captured” and that Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng and Gauteng Judge President Dunstan Mlambo had conspired to legitimise the commission when it was, in his view, not established lawfully.
If he is moved to reconsider, this would be another chapter in Zuma’s long history of evading a legal reckoning until the last minute and then complying when his options have been depleted. The arms deal charges are a case in point.
Zuma has been the ultimate stress tester of our Constitutional democracy. At least he contributed something of value.
