The dissenting justices were of the view that a coercive order would have been more appropriate as the Constitutional Court in this matter was a court of first and final instance and that a punitive order was prejudicial to Zuma.
With no alternative but to comply, Zuma’s supporters galvanised sufficient media attention, vowing that they would die to protect him. The Constitutional Court is due to hear the rescission application on July 12, 2021. This places the judiciary in a precarious position. Under the legal processes, it is not possible for a lower court to overturn a decision of its superior court.
The Constitutional Court, in making its decision to imprison Zuma, placed much emphasis on the fact that it was a court of first and last instance. It is possible that if Zuma shows sufficient evidence and if it warrants, the Constitutional Court could change its mind. Section 167 of the Constitution gives the Constitutional Court the freedom to decide a constitutional matter that includes any issue involving the interpretation, protection, or enforcement of the Constitution. The Constitution, therefore, gives the Constitutional Court the power to apply, interpret and develop the law.
The Judges were not 'sober' and measured. There were and and even insulted each other.
Ori_Debig_Beats The Zondo commission was quick to turn to Concourt without looking for another alternative in debating the former president's case, believe me there are so many open platforms and ways that could have been used, Concourt was the last opinion after exhausting all others
The Bullshit Story or Narrative that Zuma is In Prison without a Trial RET Corrupt Cabal Zuma Must Die in Prison He is a Convicted Criminal He is in Prison for a Crime as Contemot of Court Contempt of Court is NOT a Trial its s Criminal Offence with a Stipulated Sentence
No one will eat his /her vomits, it was a well thought decision but onus is on Zuma's self enriching lawyers to convince the legal minds
Not likely to happen Zelda, No disrespect but criminal law is not your strong point, stick to ecommerce. This man threatened our Democracy and Judiciary and therefore he will be made an example off.
He was given a plenty of time to do that, he chose jail instead. The judiciary has got nothing to do with his arrogance.
They must increase his sentence ti life without parole.
Only fools will believe its rest on constitutional court. The truth is its rest upon Ramaphosa and Thuli. These are the people behind this white sponsored incarceration. Law without justice is Apartheid! PresJGZuma JGZ_Foundation
