Former president Jacob Zuma fails to meet requirements in his application to set aside his contempt order and prison sentence

had failed to meet statutory requirements in that he did not establish “a reasonable and satisfactory explanation for his failure to oppose contempt proceedings” and that he did not prove he had a bona fide case.both the contempt order and his 15-month prison sentence, meted out after he failed to respect a directive to appear at the Zondo commission probing state capture.

Handing down judgment, Khampepe said: “The conclusion of the majority of the constitutional court reaches that this application falls to be dismissed with costs.” The former president submitted that if he failed to establish the requirements for rescission the constitutional court should expand the meaning of a rescindable order.

We know you are all captured, media, Courts, judges. You don't represent the majority, you only pushing the interests of the minority who funds you to write kak articles. You lost yourselves. I feel sorry for you. Zuma is the president of the people, and that hurts you deep.

this could have been the poster-child that you don't need a degree to know that there are hungry, homeless, desperate citizens that need you to look after them if you are a president of a country... dololo... and of course he is a good person. just made a wrong turn or two here.

Constitutional court judges protected themselves. That's how your headline should be. Zuma was sentenced without trail that's known fact nothing more or less.

Zuma is suffering from Corrupt -a- Litus. A common ANC disease caused by corruption and theft. This disease can be easily cured by spending 15 years in jail in an orange overall. This disease is easily preventable by not being allowed in a position in government.
