Editorial | The long arm of the law | Access to money and good lawyers is no guarantee that those abusing public trust will not get their comeuppance

They were completely unnecessary, but for those – and there were some – who doubted that the former strongman would actually be incarcerated, it was proof that absolutely no one is above the laws of the country.

Much as his eventual incarceration was expected after the Constitutional Court judgment two weeks ago, it was in doubt at a certain stage whether the defiant Zuma would end up in prison after he summoned high-profile lawyers and made last-minute court applications to try to stay out of jail. There was also threats that he could never be taken in without ugly violence breaking out after his supporters converged on Nkandla and vowed that they would never allow him to be arrested.
