Former President Jacob Zuma is defying the Constitutional Court ruling saying he will not appear before the Zondo State Capture Commission of Inquiry.
On Thursday the Constitutional Court ordered Zuma to appear and give evidence before the state capture commission.
Justice Chris Jafta said Zuma had been ordered to obey all summons issued by the commission and that he must appear and give evidence.
It ruled that Zuma doesn’t enjoy the right to remain silent.
In a statement Zuma likened the Apex Court to the apartheid government saying it is politicised.
”I therefore state in advance that the Commission Into Allegations of State Capture can expect no further co-operation from me in any of their processes going forward. If this stance is considered to be a violation of their law, then let their law take its course.”
Zuma says he does not fear being arrested.
“I am again prepared to go to prison to defend the Constitutional rights that I personally fought for and to serve whatever sentence that this democratically elected government deems appropriate as part of the special and different laws for Zuma agenda.”
Zuma claims he’s being unfairly treated by the judiciary
