Zuma’s son said he will die before his father goes to jail. His name is Edward Zuma here we have to specifu since the former president has a lot of children.
“My position has been known and I still maintain it. Whatever decisions are taken by law enforcement, they will have to kill me before such a decision is implemented,” he said.
“If that drastic decision happens to be taken, it means they have to pass through me, meaning I will lay down my life for [former] president Zuma. They will not take him to prison while I am still alive.”
“The only appropriate sanction is a direct unsuspended order of imprisonment,” said acting deputy chief justice Sisi Khampepe.
“If with impunity litigants are allowed to decide which orders they may wish to obey and which they wish to ignore, then our constitution is not worth the paper on which it is written.”
“We encourage people to come in their numbers to support [former] president Zuma,” Edward said.
Asked whether Covid-19 regulations, which prohibit gatherings, were considered, Edward said they were irrelevant.
“We are in a situation of war here. We cannot be considering Covid-19 restrictions. If it means we die, we die.”
