 And this Friday, a South African regional court will rule on whether it will block an order by the country's top court for the arrest of former South African president Jacob Zuma. On Tuesday, the High Court in Quazulunatal province heard arguments by Zuma's lawyer. The latter says the court should stop the order made by the constitutional court last week, asking that police must arrest Zuma by midnight on Wednesday. Zuma's lawyers argued that the court should stop the police from arresting him until the constitutional court rules on his application to rescind the sentence. The case will be heard on Monday, July 12. The order must await next Monday, but unfortunately these other parties, the defendants, nevertheless forged ahead to come to this court and make a non-existent case. And your lordship, according to him, will live it in your lordship's hands to indicate its appropriate apobrium, said the lawyer for the embattled politician. In an opposing argument, defendant Tembeka Ngokaitobi, who represented the Zondo Commission, said Zuma was already in defiance of the court order by not turning himself over to the authorities. He said in court, we are dealing here with a repetitive, recalcitrant lawbreaker in the form of Ms. Zuma. He has now approached you, the court, to assist him in breaking the law further and you should reject that. The judgment in the case will be delivered on Friday. Zuma, 79 years, was found guilty of contempt after he failed to obey the court's order to appear before the Zondo Commission probe in accusations of corruption when he served as president between 2009 and 2018. Over the weekend, hundreds of Zuma supporters have gathered outside his Ruwa home in the Kandler of KwaZulu, Natal. They vowed to prevent any attempts to arrest him. He also told a news conference on Sunday that's sending him to jail during the pandemic and at his age is the same as sentencing him to death.
