The ANC and opposition political parties have spoken to the supremacy of the law and the Constitution in reaction to the former president handing himself over to police.

IFP leader Velenkosini Hlabisa shared similar sentiments and also called for calm among Zuma's supporters.

"The IFP further reiterates its call for calm and restraint in respect of groups of persons supporting former president Zuma that may wish to hold gatherings, as well as for compliance with all Covid-19 regulations," he said. "I have no doubt in my mind that he must have said that not under his name will there be bloodshed over this issue. It was a smooth route to jail," Holomisa said.

"Legally speaking, it is a lesson that the laws of the country and the constitution is supreme and if you are not law-abiding you will be forced to do so," he said."Zuma is a fighter, to think that this is the end of Zuma's legacy we might be making a big mistake. What will come out, is that he is a fighter, he has realised his mistake," Holomisa said.
