ANALYSIS: How Zuma uses war metaphor to fight allegations of graft

This article first appeared on The Conversation.
Early in February former President Jacob Zuma issued a statement defying a Constitutional Court decision compelling him to appear before the judicial commission probing grand corruption in South Africa. He used a war metaphor to explain why he would be a victim if he adhered to the court’s decision.
The commission had asked the court to issue an order forcing him to testify before it. Zuma is central to the work of the commission as the allegations that the state had been captured for private benefit happened during his tenure which stretched from May 2009 to January 2018. He has also been implicated by witnesses at the commission as being complicit in the corruption.

As President Ramaphosa delivered his reply to the State of the Nation Address, the circus which is ANC politics continued to play itself out on the national stage.
Predictably, former President Jacob Zuma again failed to appear before the Zondo Commission on Monday, 15 February. In its late January judgment, the Constitutional Court ordered Zuma to do so. Again, he acted like the constitutional vandal that he is.
For someone who said he wants his day in court, Zuma is surely doing everything to avoid it. This time his lawyers argued that Zuma could not appear before the commission because he has launched a judicial review against Judge Zondo’s decision not to recuse himself.
