Former President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, has been released again from prison.
According to Gistlover, Zuma appeared at the Estcourt detention prison on Friday morning and was freed under the terms of a remission process.
This comes after the constitutional court last month rejected a bid to overturn a lower court ruling that ruled Zuma’s prior release on medical parole to be illegal.
The former president was ordered back to prison by South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal months ago.
Zuma’s term for contempt of court was ordered to be completed by the Supreme Court.
Remember that Zuma’s original arrest two years ago sparked violent protests across South Africa, killing over 300 people.
Zuma, 81, was sentenced to 15 months in prison for refusing to engage in a high-level corruption investigation during his nine-year presidency.
He surrendered to police in July 2021, but was freed on medical parole two months later owing to ill health.
Since then, the former president has denied all corruption allegations leveled against him.
