Political Analyst Doubtful Zuma Will Avoid Jail Time

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Political analyst Ongama Mtimka believes it is not sustainable for Zuma's supporters to keep him out of jail, guarding his Nkandla home around the clock.
  • However, he said Ramaphosa was also in a tight spot as any move he would make on the political front would be carefully analysed.
  • "President Zuma and his supporters have got nothing to lose, the state has everything to lose. They know that whatever they're doing out there is not sustainable, they cannot sustain that for a month or two in the same threatening way."
  • Criminology expert Guy Lamb said the police should have acted and arrested Zuma's supporters."The police should've done more; the carrying of firearms and dangerous weapons… more preventative measures should've been put in place there."
  • Meanwhile the public is fuming about the absence of law enforcement at the Nkandla super spreader, police insist they were investigating the mass gatherings - EWN
