This is The South African’s Daily News Wrap for Wednesday 30 June 2021 – with all the latest news you really need to know.
In our top story,
Presidential pardon for Zuma?
Some would perhaps call it political suicide. But one question that has been raised today punts for the improbable: Does Cyril Ramaphosa have the authority to grant Jacob Zuma a ‘presidential pardon’?
The 79-year-old ex-president is now facing a 15-month stay in the slammer, after he was found guilty on a contempt of court charge.
But just because President Ramaphosa probably WON’T grant a pardon to his predecessor, that doesn’t mean he CAN’T do it.
