The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) rejected Joao Rodrigues’ appeal against his indictment for the murder of Ahmed Timol. It was followed by the groundbreaking Constitutional Court’s judgement confirming former President Zuma’s contempt of court, and sentencing to 15 months in prison. Judge Sisi Khampepe, speaking for the majority stated ““[i]n our system, no one is above the law. Even those who had the privilege of making laws are bound to respect and comply with those laws.”
