I’m Not Scared of Going to Jail – Zuma

By: Lindelani Mbatha

Former president Jacob Zuma has reiterated that he is not afraid to go to jail for his beliefs, as it will not be for the first time.

Zuma had been addressing media at his homestead Kwadakwadunuse in Nkandla North of KZN.

The Constitutional Court found him guilty of contempt of court after he refused to return to the commission and sentenced him to 15 months in prison.

He remains adamant that the State Capture Commission of Inquiry chairperson, Raymond Zondo, is biased against him.

Last week, the Constitutional Court agreed to hear Zuma’s application for rescission of the judgment it had made.

Zuma says he’s not asking for sympathy but justice.

Zuma further says he’s concerned that South Africa is fast sliding back to apartheid type rule.

He says this is because he’s facing long detection without trial.
