One of the Advocates Tembeka Ngcukaitobi argued that Zuma should be ordered to pay the commission’s legal costs in bringing the contempt case against him.

He added that Jacob Zuma owes the court an explanation and failure to provide an explanation is simply part and parcel of the malicious behavior of Zuma.
