The former president had failed to appear for a corruption hearing and the court responded with a contempt charge. Get more on this story:

In a previous 21-page letter to Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng, which the court has described as"scandalous", the 79-year-old ex-leader claimed he was ready to be sent to prison.

A spokesman for the former political leader told broadcaster eNCA that Zuma would be issuing a statement later, and gave no further details. The allegations against Zuma include that he allowed businessmen close to him - brothers Atul, Ajay and Rajesh Gupta - to plunder state resources and influence policy.
