The South African Communist Party (SACP) has noted the arguments made by former President Jacob Zuma and the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture leading to the judgment delivered by the Constitutional Court on Tuesday, 29 June 2021. Further, the SACP has noted both the majority and the minority judgments, which the Party will study in full. We wish to stress the supremacy of the constitution and the rule of law, including the principle that no person is above the law. The SACP calls on everybody to respect the judgment.

It is important for the Commission to finish its work.

The SACP reaffirms its support for the mandate and work of the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture as established by former President Jacob Zuma when he was the President of the Republic.
