Former President Jacob Zuma will abide by the constitutional and high courts rulings by publicly apologising for calling former ANC disciplinary committee chairperson Derek Hanekom an enemy agent.
When asked about deleting the offensive tweet and payment of the damages to Hanekom, Mabuza could only say “we will comply with the court order.”
In reaction to the Constitutional Court ruling, which was made on Friday in support of last year's Durban High Court ruling, Hanekom called on leaders, including former Zuma, not to go around making unfounded statements about people’s past. Hanekom spoke to the SABC news channel yesterday soon after the Constitutional Court issued the judgement, which rejected Zuma’s appeal of the Durban High Court’s ruling on the “enemy agent” matter.
