  "account": "The Jacob Zuma Foundation plans to initiate a criminal investigation against retired Justice Sisi Khampepe. This decision comes following the Constitutional Court's rejection of Zuma and his predecessor Thabo Mbeki's attempts to have Khampepe removed as the presiding officer in the TRC Cases Inquiry. The foundation's spokesperson, Mzwanele Manyi, announced that the patron of the foundation would take two actions. Firstly, they intend to file a criminal case against Khampepe, citing evidence of unlawful conduct between her and the evidence leader. Secondly, they plan to submit a complaint to the Judicial Services Commission, arguing that the alleged unethical behavior is an impeachable offense that should not go unpunished.",
