South Africa’s Zuma turns self in to police to start prison term
- 3 years ago
South Africa’s former President Jacob Zuma has turned himself in to police to begin serving a 15-month jail sentence for contempt of the country’s highest court.
The Constitutional Court had ordered police to arrest Zuma by the end of Wednesday if he did not report to a police station in his hometown of Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal Province or in Johannesburg within five days, because he had refused to appear at a corruption hearing session earlier this year.
