The Constitutional Court will on Tuesday morning deliver its judgment in the contempt matter brought by the Zondo Commission against former president Jacob Zuma.
The 79-year-old former president has refused to return to the state capture commission, saying his relationship with Zondo the chair made it impossible to get a fair hearing.
Zondo has rejected Zuma’s assertions and instead asked the ConCourt to find the former president guilty of contempt and jail him for two years.
Zuma didn’t bother to respond when the court asked him what sanction he would recommend for his behaviour.
The former president defiantly told supporters he did not fear going to prison and he was not going to participate in “their law”.
Zuma is accused of being an enabler in state capture that saw his friends, among them the infamous Gupta brothers, become extremely wealthy.
A red notice has since been issued for Rajesh and Atul Gupta who are thought to be holed up in Dubai.
The former president has refused to comply with a summons to appear before the commission.
Judgment in the contempt matter is set for Tuesday morning in the ConCourt.
Some legal eagles point to Zuma’s advanced age and suggest he will most likely be severely admonished and fined if he is found guilty of contempt.
