President Jacob Zuma says he is not scared of going to jail. Speaking to thousands of supporters at the party’s victory rally in eDumbe‚ KwaZulu-Natal‚ on Saturday‚ Zuma said he is not threatened by political parties who approach courts to scare him. "People think democracy is done at courts. They never mention the will of the majority‚ they always talk about courts. They never even speak to us about democratic debates because they know we are good at debates. They think by going to courts they are intimidating the ANC. We are not going to be intimidated‚ even if it means I get arrested today‚ I am used to it. I have spent a lot of time in jail‚ you cannot threaten me with jail time .I am not scared of jail I have been there‚" Zuma said to loud cheers from the crowd. The DA won a court application to review the dropping of a corruption case against Zuma in the High Court.
