Zuma 'not going to jail' - supporter
A handful of supporters gathered outside former president Jacob Zuma's Nkandla home on Wednesday afternoon as the deadline for the police to carry out a court order to arrest him neared.
One man was adamant that if Zuma is taken into custody, there will be bloodshed.
"But what I can assure you our president is not going to jail, and if he does go to jail, the blood that will shower South Africa will be in the name of judge Zondo.
"Judge Zondo is being arrogant. Judge Zondo is being angry. When two elephants fight, he is supposed to be superior because according to the justice system Zondo is bigger than Zuma."

With hours to midnight, which is the cutoff time for the arrest to be executed, there is still no concrete understanding of how this will play out.
Various reports we are receiving from the ground at Nkandla are that Police Minister Bheki Cele is not in the area, and it is not clear if by the other side of the midnight.
His ministry has also indicated that he is not at Nkandla.
So far, any police members who have been coming close to the gates of Zuma's homestead have been turned away by a group claiming to be members of the MK Vets.

Zuma's son, Edward, told journalists that any cell reserved for his father tonight may as well be occupied by someone else.
