Retired Chief Justice Raymond Zondo stands as a cornerstone of South Africa’s post-apartheid judiciary. In this episode, he reflects on his journey—from his early days in legal practice to his leadership in the judiciary, including his pivotal role in the landmark State Capture Commission.

Justice Zondo explores what he considers the most significant legal milestone of his tenure: the Constitutional Court’s ruling in the contempt of court case involving former President Jacob Zuma. He explains why this decision was critical in reinforcing the principle that no one is above the law and in safeguarding the judiciary’s independence from political pressure.

Beyond landmark rulings, Justice Zondo discusses the ongoing challenge of maintaining judicial independence through the appointment of individuals with unwavering integrity and the mechanisms that ensure accountability. Looking ahead, he shares his thoughts on the potential role of AI in the courtroom and the future of justice in a rapidly evolving world.

Miggels se ouers het hom plaas toe gestuur om by sy twee ouma’s te gaan kuier, juis omdat hulle nie wou hê hy die hele skool vakansie en Fees Seisoen in die gevaarlike strate van hulle buurt op die Kaapse vlakte moes spandeer nie.

’n Stryery met drie ander jong seuns op die plaas het egter gelei tot ‘n tragedie wat die familie se vakansie planne in ’n dodelik nagmerrie laat ontaard het... Webpage · Find more from JacPod

SA's top players have shown an appreciable drop in performance in the United Rugby Championship the hosts of 'To The Last Drop' agreed on this week's show.

Poor decision making in particular have haunted some big names and it helped contribute to the defeats the Hollywoodbets Sharks, the DHL Stormers and the Emirate Lions suffered last weekend.

The Vodacom Bulls won well against Zebre Parma but they are yet to convince they can maintain intensity across 80 minutes to win three knock-out matches in a row.

The show looks ahead to this weekend's round of 16 matches in the Challenge Cup with particular focus on Edinburgh against the Lions, the Bayonne against the Bulls and Lyon against the Sharks.
