SA court rules former president bail unlawful

Constitutional Court in South Africa has ruled that former President Jacob Zuma was granted medical parole unlawfully.

Zuma had been given parole by former head of the prison service, Arthur Fraser, who is regarded as an ally of former president.

He was released in September 2021 after serving less than eight weeks of a 15-month jail sentence.

Zuma had been convicted of contempt, after refusing to co-operate with anti-corruption enquiry during his term in office.

He has recently been spotted at a climate conference in Zimbabwe.

Meanwhile Zuma is in Russia receiving medical treatment
