Former South African president Jacob Zuma left his home late on Wednesday night to turn himself in to authorities to serve a 15-month prison term, his foundation confirmed. Just minutes before the midnight deadline for police to arrest him, Zuma left his Nkandla home in a convoy of vehicles. The former leader was on his way "to hand himself into a Correctional Services Facility in KZN (KwaZulu-Natal province)", said a tweet posted by the Zuma Foundation. Zuma decided to hand himself over to authorities to obey the order from the country's highest court that he should serve a prison term for contempt of court.
