JacobZuma faces another daunting challenge to convince the ConCourt to rescind its decision to sentence him to 15 months’ imprisonment for contempt of court. ZumaArrest
In his latest application, due to be heard on Monday, Zuma has asked the ConCourt to consider that he was likely to contract Covid-19 while in prison due to his age and deteriorating health condition.
He maintained that Justice Zondo was wrong to ask the Concourt to rule and to impose a prison sentence against him. “I now fully accept that the most legally appropriate route which I could and should have taken would have been to apply for interim relief to interdict my appearance before the commission.
He said Justice Zondo’s decision to approach the Concourt was “unashamedly and with the single purpose of extracting imprisonment for me”, further saying “theirs was nothing but a thinly disguised private prosecution, only without the inconvenience of a fair trial”.
