South Africa's former President, Jacob Zuma, is in prison
South Africa's former President Jacob Zuma has handed himself in to police to begin serving a 15-month jail sentence for contempt of court, which he was handed last week after he failed to attend a corruption inquiry.
The sentencing sparked an unprecedented legal drama in South Africa, which has never seen a former president jailed before. With the latest, here's Karyn Maughan, a legal journalist at News24.
