Episode 15 - UNDERSTANDING WHY JACOB ZUMA IS SENT TO JAIL

In this special episode of In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser, I explain and analyse why former president Jacob Zuma was sent to direct imprisonment for 15 months by the constitutional court today. What was the legal basis of the judgment? Was it sound? How did the court reason about the punishment aspect? And what was the basis of dissent by two of the court's justices? What, finally, is the political significance of this case and the likely political consequences?

On In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser I tackle all the uncomfortable topics that dominate public debate. With my reputation for fearless debate as a former World Masters Debate Champ, and a background in law and philosophy, you can expect debates on everything from whether or not it is racist for a non-black person to quote the N-word, to questions of how to tackle inequality, whether people are responsible for unconscious biases, the ethics of refusing to be vaccinated, the status of animals, debating books, and much more! The crucial differentiator of this podcast series compared to others is that it is fearless in its debate orientation, and no topic is off bounds! However, my motto is: "You are entitled to be treated with dignity .... but NOT to have your worldview affirmed!"
