South Africa’s highest court on Tuesday, June 29 ordered the imprisonment of Jacob Zuma, the former president of South Africa, for 15 months on contempt charges, after he defied an order to appear before a corruption inquiry examining the breathtaking financial scandals that tainted his tenure as the country’s leader from 2009 to 2018.


Mr. Zuma, 79, voluntarily surrendered on Wednesday, 40 minutes before a midnight deadline for the Police to hand him over to prison officials. He was driven out of his compound in a long convoy of cars and taken into custody a short time after, Police said.

The arrest followed a week of tense brinkmanship in which the former President and his allies railed against the high court’s decision, suggesting, without evidence, that he was the victim of a conspiracy.

Dear South Africans and the World.
Please be advised that President Zuma has decided to comply with the incarceration order.

He is on his way to hand himself into a Correctional Services Facility in KZN.

A full statement will be issued in due course.

Zuma's daughter also confirms arrest

Just spoke @PresJGZuma en route and he is still in high spirits. He said that he hopes they still have his same overalls from Robben Island and we laughed hard that at least he won’t struggle with Afrikaans this time round. We salute dad! Amandla ✊�✊�✊�!!!

Cdes, we celebrate the imprisonment of the Freedom Fighter @PresJGZuma
Cdes, we celebrate the incarceration of the only man who remained loyal to @MYANC. Cdes, no retreat, no surrender in fighting WMC and their proxy’s in our Leadership. Amandla ✊�✊�✊�!!!

Department of Correctional Services confirms Zuma in Prison

The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) can confirm that Mr Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma has been admitted to start serving a 15 months sentence at Estcourt Correctional Centre, KwaZulu-Natal.

Mr Zuma will be taken through all the admission processes as per DCS regulations. Other relevant prescripts pertaining to admitting and orientating newly incarcerated persons will also be followed and executed.

Details about the appropriate classification, prerogatives and incarceration conditions can only be determined at the completion of the assessment process to be undertaken by relevant authorities within the employ of DCS.

Keeping inmates in a safe and secure custody remains cardinal to Correctional Services and we remain committed to this cause.

Former freedom fighter and president back to prison in the democratic era. He's traumatized SA for the past 2 decades. Historic moment seeing him go to jail.

This is future impossible tense as far as Nigeria is concerned. Especially the fact that all past and present leaders in Nigeria have skeletons in their cupboard.

Just 15 months?
The man on the street will receive years for lesser offence.

No justice in the judiciary system.
Only God is the true judge.
On that day, we will all be judged by Him.

Chaii Our Meme king from South Africa branch... But if it is Nigeria now, even a councilor will be threatening to use his power to jail you even if guilty.
If this is possible in Nigeria then there won't be a leader from the presidency to the clerk in our local government cos prison yard go full.

But let's face the truth. Baba is just dey go isolation cos if dem group am with prisoners .... it will be "we are just a pencil in the hand of the almighty"

Zuma’s disrespect is one thing. In China, he’ll get the chair for his corruption.
There has to be accountability! And I pray Bubu will be alive to face his own music, to answer for those killed on his watch, simply because they want good enough, to answer for the judges intimidated in the dead of the night, to answer for DSS recklessness and disregard for the dignity of human lives. That is Bubu’s legacy and he and his cohort shall face the music, not merely in posterity.

Will it ever happen in Nigeria?



The police, prison wardens and Judges will be too busy getting their share of the largesse.


Warders will sneak him out and make sure he sleeps in his comfortable best that night.
