“I was told to wait for this week to pass and then he will be home. That is what they said to me, but we are still going to confirm,” said Zuma’s 80-year-old brother Joseph.
The Jacob Zuma Foundation’s Mzwanele Manyi said the date of discharge will not be made public due to security reasons.
He was sentenced to 15 months behind bars and spent several weeks of his incarceration in the medical wing of the prison before being moved to an external hospital for further treatment. SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE reported on Tuesday that the Helen Suzman Foundation launched a court application to declare that Fraser’s decision to grant Zuma medical parole was unlawful and should be set aside.
Meanwhile, Zuma’s family, friends and relatives in kwaDakwadunuse are eagerly awaiting his return to give him a hero’s welcome. Last week the family told TimesLIVE that celebrations and a prayer were planned to give thanks to the ancestors for Zuma’s safe return.
