The rejection came a day after the former leader turned himself to police, but still challenged his sentence.
A South African court has rejected former South African President Jacob Zuma’s request to postpone his current prison term, a day after he handed himself over to police to begin a 15-month sentence. Zuma is currently imprisoned in the Estcourt Correctional Center for failing to obey a court order to testify at a judicial commission that is investigating allegations of corruption during his term as South Africa’s president from 2009 to 2018. Despite turning himself in on Wednesday night, Zuma has challenged his sentence. He has one more legal bid to be released which will be heard by the Constitutional Court, the country’s apex court, on Monday.
