He said following the granting of unlawful medical parole to Schabir Shaik in 2009, Parliament’s portfolio committee on correctional services unanimously supported the amendment of Section 79 of the act, to stipulate that the the minister must establish a medical advisory board to provide an independent medical report to the national commissioner, correctional supervision and parole board or the minister, as the case may be, in addition to a medical report.
“A report on the health status of any prisoner must be subject to the recommendation by an independent board to confirm, in truth, that a prisoner is indeed deserving of medical parole. Given that Jacob Zuma publicly refused to be examined by an independent medical professional, let alone a medical advisory board, this decision is a violation of the act and therefore unlawful,” Steenhuisen said.
He stated that he would be submitting an application in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act for the records of the parole board, to establish what criteria the Department of Correctional Services used to determine Zuma’s eligibility for medical parole. “I will also request that the justice and correctional services committee summon Arthur Fraser to explain to Parliament his decision to grant this medical parole in direct contravention of the Correctional Matters Amendment Act,” Steenhuisen said.
After he is hitting back, then🤷♂️
We need to check his matric, I doubt that he has a valid certificate.
He must voetsek
He must go n speak with De Klerk
They kick up dust about JZ and rightly so but their wcape premier alanwinde wants to segregate healthy people and there is crickets about that
What DA will gain if an 80 year old Zuma is in prison or at Enkandla? If DA want a fight try to end THESE UNCONSTITUTIONAL LOCKDOWN REGULATIONS.
Chill dude the guy is just sick for god sake🙄🙄😑😑😐
