Following Zuma's arrest and imprisonment for contempt of court, the foundation has made a number of public statements in his support. These have ranged from denouncing Zuma's sentence,[1] justifying violent protests, which caused 342 deaths[2] during the 2021 South African unrest,[3] to issuing statements expressing concern for Zuma's health during his imprisonment.[4]
