Jacob Zuma: South African court orders ex-president back to jail International By The Standard and Newsday | Dec. 15, 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. Mr. 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.-BBC Share this article on social Previous article More than 100 inmates escape from Nigeria prison after heavy rains Next article How Muizzu’s profligate embrace of China’s debt trap imperils the nation’s sovereignty Latest Articles Mystery of ‘haunted’ family endures Local News By Obert Siamilandu Apr. 27, 2024 US digs at Mnangagwa govt Local News By Priveledge Gumbodete Apr. 27, 2024 Govt turns to war vet children for youth service Local News By Desmond Chingarande Apr. 27, 2024 Govt revises tax-free income tax threshold Local News By Tatira Zwinoira Apr. 27, 2024 Interview: ‘Diasporans not cash cows, respect them’ Local News By Sharon Buwerimwe Apr. 27, 2024
