The Democratic Alliance said if Jackie Selebi has indeed made a recovery from his illness or not been adhering to all his parole conditions, the decision to release him could potentially be reviewed. 

This comes after media reports today revealed that Selebi was seen shopping around Pretoria on Sunday.

Chief deputy commissioner at Correctional Services, Teboho Mokoena, says media reports have misled people into thinking Selebi violated his parole conditions. 

Selebi, who was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment on charges of corruption, was released on medical parole last year.

DA MP of Correctional Services James Selfe said the DA regards this as a serious matter, more particularly given the public’s Sinicism that surrounds the release on medical parole of Schabir Shaik a couple of years ago. The DA will be taking the matter to Parliament and asking some critical questions, whether Mr Selebi has recovered or not.
