Government worthy of accolades as decent South Africans celebrate due process, justice and the rule of law

Government is worthy of accolades as decent South Africans celebrate due process, justice and the rule of lawFormer president Jacob Zuma. Picture: PHIL MAGAKOE/POOL VIA REUTERS.

During the media feeding frenzy surrounding hearings, gatherings and rhetoric, few paused to contemplate the bigger picture. What happened supersedes profound implications for Zuma, the ANC and politics generally in our much beloved country. Making sense of this historic moment is confounded by the binary imperative according to which people spontaneously split themselves into two dogmatic camps. There they wallow in confirmation-bias echo chambers in which whatever confirms preconceptions is recycled monotonously. The binary imperative makes it difficult if not impossible to avoid tunnel vision and muddled thinking.

Compared with what has already happened, these are trivialities. Were I deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo, for instance, I would recuse myself for Zuma’s appearance. For justice to be done it must be seen to be done, to which end I would err on the justice side. But that is my opinion. Zondo’s judicial competence and independence must be respected and upheld.
