In an unprecedented ruling, the constitutional court told Zuma on June 29, 2021 to hand himself over by Sunday to start a 15-month jail term for contempt of court after he repeatedly refused to give evidence to corruption investigators.

A number of discredited African National Congress members issued an ultimatum to President Cyril Ramaphosa to release former President Jacob Zuma, nationalize all the mines, nationalize all banks, nationalize the Reserve bank. He must do all these nobody within 14 working days and nights. If not, they will do nothing.
