On Friday, former president Jacob Zuma teamed up with his old pal and fellow medical parolee Schabir Shaik to open a restaurant in Umhlanga.
The latest salvo in the quest to send Zuma back to the slammer saw the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) confirm that his medical parole was unlawful.
For the best part of 15 years, Zapiro and Jacob Zuma have been locking horns and long may it continue.
Louis Liebenberg has made a sizeable fortune from dealing diamonds and he’s not afraid to use that to buy a little political capital here and there.
The battle over whether or not Zuma will return to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence rages on.
When it comes to state capture in this country, it’s very much a case of what’s a billion here and a billion there between friends.
In early 2016, a huge ‘Zuma Must Fall’ billboard appeared in Cape Town’s city centre at the bottom of Kloof Street.
The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has ruled that the decision to place Zuma on medical parole was unlawful.
More than 12 years after Jacob Zuma was first sworn into office as our nation’s president, the people of South Africa have finally shown that they’re tired of being taken for a ride.
Has there ever been a more obvious ending to a saga than the announcement that Jacob Zuma has been granted medical parole?
As Jacob Zuma’s legal fees continue to mount, the former president’s foundation has sent out a “humble request” for donations.
After what feels like decades of avoiding the repercussions of his crimes, it was entirely unsurprising when Zuma exited prison last week for medical reasons.
The Department of Correctional Services has confirmed that Zuma has left prison and been admitted to an outside hospital for medical observation.
What we have witnessed this past week or so are not merely random acts of violence, but rather a planned and executed “insurrection”, using social media mobilisation and the know-how of former uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) operatives.
The tool tracks incidents of violence, looting, arson, protests, and other instability using only credible, verifiable reports.
It’s easy to blame those stoking the fires on social media, and they do shoulder a large burden of responsibility, but there are also forces operating in the shadows.
Sorry in advance. Feel free to exit stage left if you don’t want to go down this road, or just need a break from all of the negativity.
Being the president’s daughter comes with certain perks. Just ask Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, who enjoyed a lavish wedding back in 2011.
When your citizens have so little, for so long, and their pleas for assistance go unanswered, desperation sets in. Some of the looting, however, was indefensible.
Late last week, and throughout the weekend, scenes of chaos and destruction have played out, predominantly in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.
Dudu Zuma-Sambudla is trying to mobilise forces to protest her father’s arrest. Worryingly, she tweeted a video of a President Ramaphosa poster being hit with a hail of bullets.
Speaking outside of the prison where Jacob Zuma is incarcerated, Carl Niehaus suffered further humiliation after being arrested during a live broadcast.
Late last night, with the clock ticking, Jacob Zuma was taken to Estcourt Correctional Centre to serve his 15-month prison sentence.
Zapiro and Zuma have done battle for years. As we enter another day wondering if the former president will end up behind bars, the cartoonist isn’t letting up.
Over the weekend, the former president’s supporters descended on Nkandla. There was marching, singing, and one deeply ironic printing error.
Zuma supporters from around the country flocked to Nkandla, despite the fact that large gatherings are banned.
In a final attempt to avoid prison, Zuma’s legal team will file court papers at the Constitutional Court today.
Via the Jacob G Zuma Foundation, the former president has lambasted the ConCourt ruling, adding that the Zondo Commission has been “transformed into a slaughterhouse”.
As has become customary, Nando’s weighed in with a joke about our former president, and it clearly touched a nerve.
After what we’ve been through, it still feels almost unbelievable that Zuma will actually end up behind bars. Let’s imagine for a second that he does.
