The constitution is the glue that holds this flawed country together and without its laws and rules, chaos would ensue.
There must be some sort of world record in the number of times that former president Jacob Zuma has had a case directly related to him or about him adjudicated in a court of law. It is a rather sad record for him because in most of these cases, judgments have been overwhelmingly against him. His legal team is even going outside this country’s borders to petition the African Court on Human and People’s Rights for being tried in absentia by the Constitutional Court.
His legal team is even going outside this country’s borders to petition the African Court on Human and People’s Rights for being tried in absentia by the Constitutional Court. Because it is the country’s heart of the judicial system that the former president is having a go at, the only arm of government that has successfully fought off attempts to have it captured over the past “wasted” decade.
An argument can be made on just giving up on the ex-president, throwing in the towel on every legal case against him and letting him go. The flaw is that it overlooks the damage that Zuma’s relentless attacks have done to the judiciary and the Constitutional Court, in particular.
