VIOLENT inciter who has been in prison for two years will spend another month in jail.
Mdumiseni Zuma will only know his fate in October.
The Pietermaritzburg Regional Court had convicted the 36-year-old of contravening sections 17 and 18 of the Riotous Assemblies Act for inciting people to gather and commit public violence.
The charges relate to incidents of looting and public violence that happened in July 2021 in some parts of the country, especially in KZN.
During that time, the Brookside Mall in Pitermaritzburg was looted and burnt to the ground.

Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, regional spokeswoman for the KZN branch of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), said the presiding officer noted during the sentencing that Zuma's WhatsApp video may have prompted people to commit public violence.
"This was also based on Zuma's own admission during his testimony that if he received a message similar to the one he released, he too would have taken action to commit public violence," she said.
She said the case was remanded to 9 October 2023 for reports to be prepared before the verdict is handed down. Zuma remains in custody.
In July 2021, several shopping centres in KZN were looted and burnt to the ground.
