Judges Matters: 'Outcome of Zuma's recusal plea a win for judiciary'
Judges Matters' Mbekezeli Benjamin says regardless of the Constitutional Court's ruling on Jacob Zuma's plea for six apex court Justices to abstain from overseeing the IEC's case involving him, it will signify a triumph for the judiciary.

His level of reasoning is concerning
Who ZUMA think he is to come up always to request everyone recusal on his matters? There is no reason at all for the recusal.
Very poor analysis, from the man in studio, if the judges recuse themselves, the acting judges will be added to the remaining 5 judges
SA Chief Justice Raymond Zondo already said he wil never be part of any case involving Jacob Zuma bcos he was part of ConCourt to sent him to Jail for 15 months

The mere fact that the same judges made an unconstitutional judgement and incarcerated a person without trial and even said this requires departure from norm, shows that they should not be hearing any matter concerning Zuma.

Zuma was sentenced for contempt of court- he refused to appear at the commission despite being ordered to do so. Secondly, a judge's recusal due to conflict has nothing to do with the fact that he/she may have ruled againt you. You do not get to demand a judge recuse themself because you as the complainant feels that the judge is biased against you- thats not how the law works. Otherwise anyone who has a judgement against them could simply demand the judge recuse themself. Goodness, the insanity of Zuma cultists...

But, once again, there is no point trying to reason with a Zuma cultist- you people do not employ reasoning.
The usual excuse to delay things, "recuse"
Not every convicted can stand in the public office because not everyone got his or her sentence reduced, this man is very bias or poor analysis

Analyst should be up to speed before they are interviewed.
Clearly the issues are different and the test is different, here it’s about the interpretation of Section 47(1)(e) and not about the appeal of his conviction or sentence… if it was about an appeal, his argument would hold water. The test to determine a correct interpretation of a section in the constitution is different to a test to determine an appeal hence perceived bias does not arise when the issue on the former is being dealt with. Very interesting because Justice Unterhalter was criticised for arguing during the Jsc interview that he doesn’t believe that you need to recuse yourself in a matter that you formed part of the bench as long as a different test is to be applied in that Court.
They must recuse themselves for justice woth or without facts. Fair treatment.

If you read the struggle of President JG Zuma, and obstacles he faced to deny him to move through the ranks of the ANC structures despite the constitution allowing him, and all the sabotage of his administration, and the pursuit of him after his term, should give you enough motivation to seek for the truth. But for now the focus is on the biasness of some Judges in constitutional court against him, n if you have some level of understanding of the law, you'll know he have reasonable grounds. Whether they accept it or not is neither here nor there.

Adv. MPOFU is definitely a disgrace. He knows that decision by the Electoral Court was irrational as there is no ground of law to allow ZUMA to be a MP. Good analysis. Now the Concourt has to look at the Sect. 47 of Constitution's prohibition. The Electoral Court has no right to decide the sentence of Concourt for ZUMA's contempt of Court had no permission to appeal.

Sum1 once said leave JGZ to rest he is old or u will unrest.fair move anc
for anyone wanting to just this debate here is the text section 47 1-e e. anyone who, after this section took effect, is convicted of an offence and sentenced to more than 12 months imprisonment without the option of a fine, either in the Republic, or outside the Republic if the conduct constituting the offence would have been an offence in the Republic, but no one may be regarded as having been sentenced until an appeal against the conviction or sentence has been determined, or until the time for an appeal has expired. A disqualification under this paragraph ends five years after the sentence has been completed.
Good analysis, Zuma must fall, he's selfish and corrupt
This guy's assessment of the judgment of the electoral court is flawed. He notes only the additional ground of Modiba J, but ignores the judgment of Zondi J, which every member of the court concurred in. His understanding of the foundation of the bais point is also flawed.
Crazy analysis
Nothing contradictory on asking the proved to be bias judges to recuse them selves, especially because Zondo had been going to media bashing Zuma, we don't run short of judges in SA,
Ther is no urgency here since IEC is askin for clarity not appealing the judgement of the electoral court.. even if the ConCourt defines differently from the Electoral court...the IEC should first appeal the judgement to the supreme Court of appeal then to ConCourt. But ke SA has created Zuma laws and captured Judiciary.
There's no contradiction, I might have made peace, but that doesn't mean the justices would not feel they have to defend their position.

@cebova2873 OK. He was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment without an option of a fine. Meaning he was supposed to be in prison for 15 months, which, when calculated according to the rules of the Dept of Correctional Services, would still be less time. Now, let's go to remission: There, the character of his sentence doesn't change. It's 15 months imprisonment to be served. There came the State President or whoever has authority, and that person reduced the number of months he had to serve by allowing him to serve only three months and did so out of mercy and the authority s/he carries. He had to serve that 3 months without the 15 months having been changed at all. For instance, if you owe me R5000.00 and see that you have difficulty in paying it. I might decide on my own to ask you to pay back R2000.00, and I will release you. You pay it. That doesn't change the fact that you owe me R5000.o.
