The DA insists former president JacobZuma would have to spend at least 55 days in prison before correctional services commissioner Makgothi Thobakgale would be lawfully entitled to consider an application for ordinary parole.
In September 2021 he was released on medical parole by former correctional services commissioner Arthur Fraser.
It is an unusual situation for Thobakgale now because Zuma has already served the full term of his sentence on medical parole. It is understood Thobakgale has already obtained at least two legal opinions on his options. In the DA’s letter, the party said the import of the SCA judgment was that Zuma must immediately be returned to Estcourt prison.
