Former South African President Jacob Zuma has been sentenced to 15 months imprisonment by the highest court in the country.<\/p>\n

The court gave the judgement following Zuma’s refusal to appear before graft investigators for contempt of court<\/a> charge against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Constitutional Court can do nothing but conclude that Mr Zuma is guilty of the crime of contempt of court,\u201d judge Sisi Khampepe said.<\/p>\n

The 79-year-old is accused of enabling the plunder of state coffers during his nearly nine-year stay in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis kind of recalcitrance and defiance is unlawful and will be punished,\u201d Khampepe said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am left with no option but to commit Mr Zuma to imprisonment, with the hope that doing so sends an unequivocal message\u2026 the rule of law and the administration of justice prevails.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe majority judgement orders an unsuspended sentence of imprisonment<\/a> for a period (of 15 months),\u201d she declared, ordering Zuma to hand himself over within five days.<\/p>\n

The panel was set up by Zuma himself, under pressure over mounting scandals, shortly before he was ousted in 2018 by the ruling African National Congress (ANC), is headed by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo.<\/p>\n

Zuma only testified once, in July 2019, before staging a walkout days later and accusing the commission\u2019s Zondo of bias.<\/p>\n

He then ignored several invitations to reappear, citing medical reasons and preparations for another corruption trial.<\/p>\n

He presented himself again briefly in November but left before questioning, and Zondo asked to ask the Constitutional Court to intervene.<\/p>\n

Most of the graft investigated by the commission involve three brothers from a wealthy Indian business family, the Guptas, who won lucrative government contracts and were allegedly even able to choose cabinet ministers.<\/p>\n

Zuma is separately facing 16 charges of fraud, graft and racketeering relating to a 1999 purchase of fighter jets, patrol boats and military gear from five European arms firms for 30 billion rand, then the equivalent of nearly $5 billion.<\/p>\n

At the time of the purchase, Zuma was president Thabo Mbeki\u2019s deputy.<\/p>\n

He is accused of accepting bribes totalling four million rand from one of the firms, French defence giant Thales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
