CONTEXT Zuma medical parole unlawful 15 December 2021 A South African court has ruled that the country's former President Jacob Zuma should be returned to prison, saying his medical parole was "unlawful". The time he has spent out of prison should not be counted in his 15-month sentence, the Pretoria court ruled. Zuma was released on 5 September for an undisclosed medical condition. He had been jailed for failing to attend an inquiry into corruption during his presidency. The 79-year-old handed himself in to police in July after a public stand-off, but his jailing, unprecedented for an ex-president, sparked violent protests and looting. More than 300 people, mostly in Zuma's stronghold of KwaZulu-Natal province, died in the protests. The former leader had testified only once at the inquiry into what has become known as "state capture" - the allegation that government decisions were being taken on behalf of business interests through a corrupt relationship. Zuma is also facing a separate corruption and fraud trial related to an arms deal in the late 1990s. Zuma has repeatedly said he is the victim of a political conspiracy. Prison authorities say his release on parole was compelled by a medical report, but his ailment has never been disclosed. He did, however, undergo surgery after he was imprisoned. Lawyers representing Zuma have appealed against the court order, so there is no immediate prospect of him returning to prison.

Covid restrictions in South Africa should be removed. What is the purpose of a nationwide curfew from 10 pm to 4 am? When there are repeated periods of strict lockdowns and curfews, it is bound to have an effect on local communities and mental health. Eventually, people will snap. 1 Like |

The man arrested for breaking the windows at the Constitutional Court with a hammer on Wednesday was a parolee with a 2010 murder conviction. Paul Makaula, 36, was remanded in custody by the Hillbrow magistrate's court on Friday. The case was postponed to March 25. Damages to the court building were estimated at R50,000 (N1,3-million). National police spokesperson Lt-Col Robert Netshiunda said on Wednesday that police were called in the morning after a man was found breaking the windows. When officers arrived, the man was still busy with his attack. Netshiunda said he did not stop smashing the windows until police fired a warning shot.
