The Department of Correctional Services has confirmed that former president Jacob Zuma has been officially released from the prison system.
The Constitutional Court sentenced Zuma to 15 months in
jail for contempt of court after failing to appear before the commission of
inquiry into state capture. He spent two months at Estcourt Correctional Centre
last year and was later granted medical parole to complete his sentence at
home.
Friday would've marked the official end of his sentence if
he had not been granted medical parole.
Correctional Services spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo says
he is now officially out of the system after complying with the medical parole
conditions.
"Mr Zuma complied with his conditions for medical
parole as set out during his placement. All administrative processes have now
been concluded and the Sentence Expiry Date marks the end of him serving his
sentence under community corrections.”
