The high court had ruled Jacob Zuma was reckless in instituting a review of then public protector Thuli Madonsela’s State of Capture Report in 2016.

Cape Town – Former president Jacob Zuma was accused of an “abuse of process” by the Supreme Court of Appeal on Friday after failing in his bid for leave to appeal a ruling by the North Gauteng High Court.

Zuma was required to appoint a commission to conduct an inquiry into allegations of corruption involving him as the head of state as well as senior officials in the government. “There is force in this submission, given that in both the review application and these proceedings, Mr Zuma sought to justify the impermissible, rather than accept the error of his challenge.

Another blow for PresJGZuma as he loses yet again at court.. Time to stop these antics and head straight to prison. gedleyihlekisa's OrangeJumpsuit is gathering dust....high time he wore it. Seems taxpayers money went to waste, in making that suit😜😜😜

The justices are doing what they are paid for. Nothing more.

Trying to distract us from the fact that Eskom, for the 3rd successive year under Cyril Ramaphosa as president has recorded a loss. In the 3 years as president, Eskom has a cumulative loss in excess of R60 billion

Under Cyril Zuma won't win nothing 😂
