GUILTY AS CHARGED| Zuma Sentenced To 15 Months Imprisonment By ConCourt

FORMER president Jacob Zuma has been ordered to serve 15-month prison sentence for contempt of court.

The Constitutional Court has given Zuma five days to present himself to the local Nkandla or Johannesburg Central police stations in order to be arrested.

The apex court said if Zuma fails to submit himself to the police as ordered, the Minister of Police Bheki Cele and the National Commissioner of Police Khehla Sithole must take all necessary steps in law to ensure that he is delivered to a correctional centre to commence sentence imposed.

In a hard-hitting judgment on Tuesday, Constitutional Court justice Sisi Khampepe said Zuma’s unfounded attacks on the judiciary cannot be met with impunity, and are not tolerable in a democratic dispensation.
