Former correctional services national commissioner Arthur Fraser granted Zuma medical parole based on the diagnosis of three independent medical experts.
Manyi said Zuma holds no particularly strong views on whether the applying doctor or the granting official acted lawfully or exceeded their powers. “For the second time in so many years, the courts have convicted [former] president Zuma and sentenced him to imprisonment without the benefit of a criminal trial which is afforded to even the worst criminals,” said Manyi.“To impose further imprisonment after the expiry of a jail term is totally unheard of and it is indeed a textbook case of judicial overreach once again targeted at [former] president Zuma as an individual.
“It would be outrageous and unacceptable in the case of any citizen of any democratic country. If all are indeed equal before the law, then it must be equally unacceptable even if that citizen happens to carry the name Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma. That is the essence of the equality clause in our constitution.”“In view of this total injustice and outrage, [former] president Zuma has instructed his legal team to craft an opinion to advise him of his legal options within the next few weeks.
“There is no new crisis, and we should all leave the matter in the hands of the law and our democratic institutions,” he said.
He must go back to prison because he was wrongly released by Fraser who was not a right person to release him. So in the first place he was not sick secondly Fraser it was not this competancy
They do not follow or understand the rule of law and the powers vested in Commissioners of the departments. This is not a Banana Republic. This is a country governed by law
What happened to Kwezi (sp) was cruel, criminal and degrading.
Stealing and misappropriating taxpayer money to enrich friends and build Nkandla is cruel and degrading, and an insult to every South African who was supposed to benefit from that money!!!
