Zuma was summoned to appear before Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo between 18 and 22 January.
The former president said that he would rather go to jail than appear before the inquiry. He’s scheduled to appear before the commission on 15 February and if he fails to pitch, it would constitute a breach of the summons, meaning that Zuma would be in contempt of the Constitutional Court’s order.
