FULL JUDGMENT: Zuma loses in the ConCourt

Deeper legal action against journalist Jacques Pauw could lead to President Jacob Zuma's tax affairs becoming exposed to the public.

JOHANNESBURG – A majority judgment in the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) on Friday found that Parliament failed to hold President Jacob Zuma accountable over the Nkandla issue.

Following the judgment, Parliament has 120 days to decide what the rules of impeachment against Zuma are going to be and within 120 days thereafter, they need to act on those rules on the president.
