										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>South Africa&#8217;s scenario is worse by the day, with government authorities battling to keep the brutality under line. Thugs and rioters wielding firearms have swept over the streets of Durban, Johannesburg, and other cities throughout the nation. The riots and violence, which have cost more than 70 lives, are in consequence to the arrest of former President Jacob Zuma.</p>
<p>Rioters are already going about in unidentified luxury automobiles with tinted windows, indicating places that will be targeted next. They appear to be organising another round of attacks in places that have been abandoned in the last day.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The apex court in South Africa on Tuesday sentenced the country’s former president Jacob Zuma to 15 months’ imprisonment for contempt of court after he walked out of hearings of the Commission of Enquiry into State Capture in November last year and refused to return to it.</p>
<p>The court also said that the sentence could not be suspended.</p>
<p>The Commission, which is investigation allegations of corruption and bribery at state and parastatal institutions, had asked that Mr. Zuma be sent to prison for two years.</p>
<p>Mr. Zuma has repeatedly said that he would rather go to jail than cooperate with the Commission.</p>
<p>In a strongly worded majority judgment handed down on Tuesday morning by Justice Sisi Khampepe of the Constitutional Court, she described Zuma’s statements as “outlandish” and “intolerable”.</p>
