Full force of the law must be visited on Jacob Zuma for his failure to appear before the ZondoCommission
15 February 2021
The Democratic Alliance (DA) calls for charges to be brought against former President Jacob Zuma as he has refused to appear before the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture this week.
Zuma previously announced through his legal team that he intended to ignore the summons of the Commission, and the judgement of the Constitutional Court. It therefore comes as no surprise that his monumental disrespect for the law is on public display.
Zuma has always, also during his Presidency, exhibited utter contempt for the Constitution and the Rule of Law. His contempt for the Commission that he set up is appalling and he must now face the full force of the law. He has slithered through life with no consequences for contemptible behaviour. It is time his chickens came home to roost.
Zuma has always considered himself and his cronies above the law, and this has been made clear as the demolition job of his Presidency is laid bare. In these actions, and in this belief, he was comprehensively aided and abetted by his colleagues in the ANC.
