The Jacob Zuma Foundation is adamant that the High Court in Johannesburg erred in finding that President Cyril Ramaphosa would suffer harm if he were to appear in a criminal court.
The foundation was reacting to the court’s decision to grant an urgent interdict to allow Ramaphosa not to appear in court on Thursday this week to answer to former President Jacob Zuma’s bid to privately prosecute Ramaphosa.
of January was not material, this contention misses the point. The harm lies not in the temporary inconvenience of physically attending a hearing if only for a formal postponement. The critical harm concerns a fundamentally, constitutionally guaranteed right to personal freedom. That value which is foundational to our constitutional order may never be treated lightly.
