Former president Jacob Zuma has applied for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal against the judgment passed by Elias Matojane on Wednesday.

Former president Jacob Zuma has been ordered to return to jail after his medical parole was set aside. He has applied for leave to appeal against that order. File photo.Former president Jacob Zuma has applied for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal against the whole judgment and order passed by judge Elias Matojane on Wednesday.

Zuma has listed more than 10 reasons why his application has reasonable prospects of success on appeal. In an application filed a few hours after the order by Matojane, lawyers for Zuma said the judge erred in finding that the DA, Helen Suzman Foundation and AfriForum had the requisite standing to bring the application

Zuma’s lawyers said the judge committed gross misdirection in not taking into account the overwhelming evidence that no correctional facility in SA was capable of accommodating the undisputed medical needs of Zuma, who is entitled to 24-hour medical care from the state.

We all have to die some time - and he deserves to die in jail after the destruction he has wreaked on South Africa

One thing Zuma and trump have in common is that they like to be courted by those people who knows what is right and wrong and yet when they are wrong they just smile

This man is dead. He been long earmarked. Going to jail would enable they vaccinate him to death. Judiciary is a vehicle used to get him closer. Another burning and looting on the card.

Just want to say a very big thank you to Mrs lisamiaBTC and her company platform for their transparency, I had doubts at first but seeing I got paid I deemed it necessary to share with the general public and to let them know that you can be truly trusted..thank you so much.
