CONNECTED: Former President Jacob Zuma has been arrested, spending the first night in custody
Now he is in prison, which can hardly be a victory. This is a truly humiliating, historic situation and the state of emergency of a democratically elected president of this country in the post-apartheid era, which is now behind bars, is truly extraordinary.

This is not a happy event, this is a sad event, but it is a victory for the rule of law.
