Former President Jacob Zuma addresses his supporters outside his house on July 04, 2021 in Nkandla, South Africa. The former president was found guilty of contempt of court by the Constitutional Court of South Africa and has been sentenced to 15 months imprisonment.
And yesterday, the Jacob Zuma Foundation tweeted following confirmation from the department of correctional services that Zuma was still in hospital, “his and the NPA [National Prosecuting Authority] legal teams are discussing making a joint approach to the judge for a postponement of this week’s proceedings”.Advocate Mthunzi Mhaga of the NPA yesterday confirmed Zuma’s legal team would be making “a substantive application for a postponement” and that this would take place virtually.
“Or the court can take other steps to ensure the accused attends court, even issuing a warrant for his arrest.”
