Zuma, a former South African president, has been actively campaigning against the ANC he once staunchly supported since childhood and led for nearly a decade.
At least 10 people have been killed and more than 490 arrested "in acts of public violence rarely seen in the history of our democracy," President Ramaphosa said.
South Africa’s former President Jacob Zuma has been found guilty of contempt of court and sentenced to 15 months in prison for defying a court order to appear before an inquiry probing wide-ranging allegations of corruption during his tenure from 2009 to 2018.
Shaun Abrahams said in Pretoria that he believed there were "reasonable prospects of a successful prosecution" and taking the case to court was the most appropriate way to face the charges.
South Africa’s anti-corruption watchdog has accused the Gupta brothers of using their friendship with Zuma to influence policy and amass wealth. Zuma and the Gupta brothers deny any wrongdoing.
Zuma, who has been in power since 2009, faces numerous allegations of corruption.
Addressing the media after an ANC Parliamentary Caucus meeting this afternoon, ANC Treasurer-General Paul Mashatile confirmed that 75-year-old Zuma had defied a recall from his party.
Zuma faces the allegations of corruption as his links in recent years to a wealthy India-born Gupta family is believed to have influenced the government.
