Zuma Foundation calls Khampepe ruling a ‘narrow loss’ as fight shifts to Saps and JSC

The Jacob Zuma Foundation has described the Constitutional Court’s split ruling on retired Justice Sisi Khampepe’s recusal as a “narrow loss,” stating that the 4-4 divide reflects the seriousness of the former president’s concerns and warning that the matter now escalates to criminal and judicial complaints. Zuma and another former president, Thabo Mbeki, failed in their latest attempt to have Khampepe removed as chairperson of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) cases inquiry after the Constitutional Court dismissed their review application on Monday, 31 August 2026. However, the Court granted the former president’s leave to appeal, allowing the matter to proceed.
