'Zuma is a repetitive lawbreaker' - Zondo Inquiry lawyers make case for JZ jail time
The Pietermaritzburg High Court heard former President Jacob Zuma’s application to have his order of arrest rescinded. Zuma was represented by Dali Mpofu SC, who stated that Zuma’s treatment constituted an ‘exceptional circumstance’. The commission of inquiry into state capture, represented by Tembeka Ngcukaitobi SC, labeled Zuma as a ‘repetitive law breaker’ who was ‘asking the court to assist him to do so some more’.

The undeniable point is that if it were you or me, the court will not grant us 5 days to go to a police station, and begin our sentence. the ordinary person found guilty will be immediately taken into the cells below court, and transported to the police station. The fact that he was allowed days to turn himself in , in the first place, and the fact that the police had not arrested him and issued a statement that they will not arrest him until his application is heard in the CC (as if they are the court making an order), has already shaken the judicial system and confirms that there are two laws, one for them and one for us. the courts, police , and ministers have raped this country and it is you and I , who remain occupied by fighting each other, by the race baiting and the trivial issues, that suffer. we are a largely distracted nation, led by wolves. like it has been said, divide and conquer.

Zuma was so desperate to paint Ramaphosa as a bad person in such a way that he allowed EFF to himself and it backfires. Why really bad is that EFF has a solid evidence that they can use against him some day of which he gave it to them voluntarily to spite Ramaphosa

Can you imagine every other defense attorney using this going forward, no one should be thrown in jail ever again. Just don't appear for any court appearances and everything will be fine, even if its contempt. furthermore, Magistrate court shall have jurisdiction going forward? Any normal person on the streets would of been behind bars by now... the SAPS will just send 2 officers to your residence at 1 in the morning and take you in.
