Court ruling on Zuma confirms that medical parole was just a ploy
15 December 2021
Today's High Court ruling ordering former President Jacob Zuma to return to prison is a victory for justice and serves to confirm suspicions that Zuma's medical parole was no more than a ploy to get him out of jail.
The fact that the High Court in Pretoria ruled the medical parole that was granted to Zuma on the 5th of September as being "unlawful" truly speaks volumes about the situation.
It means that Arthur Fraser, former national Commissioner of Correctional Services, who decided to place Zuma on medical parole acted unlawfully and must be held accountable.
This legal process has serious cost implications and the FF Plus is of the opinion that Fraser must foot the bill.
