THE Constitutional Court has agreed to hear former president Jacob Zuma’s urgent application to rescind its order sentencing him to jail for 15 months for contempt of court.
The matter is set for court on Monday, July 12 2021.07.
The Constitutional Court issued these directions on Saturday, after Zuma made the application on Friday.
The Jacob Zuma Foundation said on Saturday that the former President will break his silence on the Constitutional Court saga on Sunday afternoon at 6pm.
The foundation added that on Tuesday the Pietermaritzburg High Court will hear an urgent interdict preventing Minister of Police from arresting Zuma pending his latest application.
Last Tuesday the Constitutional Court sentenced Zuma to 15 months imprisonment for contempt of court. The Concourt had further ordered Cele and Police Commissioner Khehla Sitole to ensure Zuma was arrested if he had failed to hand himself over by latest Sunday midnight.
