The ANC has welcomed the decision to grant former president Jacob Zuma medical parole.
Zuma is serving a 15-month sentence for contempt of court.
That’s after he refused a Constitutional Court order to appear before the State Capture Inquiry.
Approximately a month after his sentence began, Zuma was admitted to the hospital where he underwent surgery.
Now, the Correctional Services Department says, based on a medical report, the former president qualifies for medical parole.
Zuma will complete the rest of his sentence under community correction.
This means he must comply with a specific set of conditions and will be subject to supervision until his sentence expires.
