Jacob Zuma gets a 15-month sentence, 5 days to hand himself over to police
Briefly News earlier reported that on Tuesday, the Constitutional Court found former president Jacob Zuma guilty of being in contempt of court for failing to appear at the State Capture Commission. Justice Sisi Khampepe wrote the majority judgement.
Reports state that she was thorough and addressed every aspect of the matter. Both Justice Theron and Justice Jaftha's minority judgement agreed that Zuma is guilty of contempt while Khampepe noted that the majority judgement is unappealable.
The above means that the former president has to face 15 months in jail. Many locals have shared their thoughts.
