Jacob Zuma Appeal

Jacob Zuma’s lawyers will argue against the Democratic Alliance (DA), the Helen Suzman Foundation and AfriForum in the Supreme Court of Appeal over the Pretoria High Court’s December ruling setting aside the decision to grant the former president medical parole and sending him back to prison to serve out the rest of his sentence.

Zuma was granted medical parole last September, after serving just two months of the 15-month prison sentence that the Constitutional Court sentenced him with for contempt.

The medical parole advisory board recommended against Zuma’s release but then-prison head, Arthur Fraser, overruled that decision, a move that the High Court ultimately found was unlawful.

The national Correctional Services commissioner and Zuma are now appealing the ruling.
