Former South African President Jacob Zuma has been found guilty of contempt of court and sentenced to 15 months in jail by the country's top court.
This came after he failed to appear before an inquiry investigating corruption during his time in office.
A commission has been hearing allegations the wealthy Gupta family used its friendship with Zuma to win government contracts and influence policy.

Al Jazeera's Fahmida Miller joins us on the phone from Johannesburg for the latest updates.
