Rule of law catches up with Zuma


Jacob Zuma
The  South African judiciary have decided to review Jacob Zuma ‘s corruption case.He was involved in a $5bn scandal of 1999 arms with former finance minister Schabir Shaiks.With Zuma losing popularity  with some of the ANC leaders this could be an excuse  they have been  looking for to get rid of him in this December ‘s  ANC meeting to chose their preferred  president candidate for their party.
 The best thing is that the South African judiciary is really vocal in holding the executive accountable of their actions and apprehending that no one is above the law.However the question remaining is why the judiciary chose this specific time to review the case and why did there drop it at the first place.If Mbeki was dismissed for being involved in partaking in scandals against Zuma what will make the court case not  ruin Zuma ‘s political reputation and lead to the end of his political career.I guess the rule of law  always catches up anytime,if  Sicelo Shiceka,Gwen Mahlangu ,Bheki Cele and Malema faced their music why not Zuma?
