South African police arrest 27 over protest link to Zuma jailing

South African police said on Saturday that 27 people had been arrested over violent protests linked to former president Jacob Zuma's imprisonment.
Protests raged this week in parts of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), Zuma's home province, after the former president handed himself over to police to serve a 15-month jail term for contempt of court.
On Friday, the high court dismissed Zuma's application to have his arrest overturned, in a case seen as a test of the post-apartheid nation's rule of law.
