The Constitutional Court on Monday began hearing the application by jailed former president, Jacob Zuma, to have its own ruling that sent him to jail, set aside.

This after he was found guilty of contempt of court for repeatedly snubbing a call by the commission into state capture, chaired by the now acting chief justice, Raymond Zondo, to appear and give evidence. This was the question posed by Zuma’s lawyer, Dali Mpofu SC, as Zuma’s case began.

Tshiqi asked whether he was saying that in every judgment, is it OK for a party to sit back and not reply and then come with an application of a rescission? “At any point when you perceive that your rights have been infringed, there should be a remedy ... For every right, there should be a remedy, otherwise the rights of the Constitutional Court are hollow,” Mpofu argued.
