Court says Jacob Zuma may not ignore order to apologise to Derek Hanekom

Former president Jacob Zuma has been denied leave to appeal against a ruling that a tweet calling former cabinet minister Derek Hanekom “a known enemy agent” was defamatory, false and unlawful.

Zuma’s legal representatives submitted that the tweet was made in the context of “heated and robust” political debate. “Counsel for Mr Zuma accepts that the tweet is open to several interpretations. But they said he chose his words carefully and if he intended to call him an apartheid spy he would have done just that.”

Perhaps uBaba PresJGZuma will realize once and for all it's no longer a free-for-all like it was during his reign of 9 wasted years
