June 29 (UPI) -- Former South African President Jacob Zuma was ordered Tuesday to 15 months in prison for defying a court order to appear before a corruption inquiry looking into scandals during his nine years in office.
The corruption investigation is looking at various scandals that occurred during Zuma's presidency between 2009 and 2018. He was under orders to appear and cooperate with the inquiry, but the Constitutional Court on Tuesday found him guilty of contempt.
