Former president of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, has returned from Russia where he was undergoing medical care.
“The check-up and observations went well,” his foundation said in a statement.
Following his loss in a case at the Constitutional Court last month, where he attempted to overturn a ruling to return to prison, former South African President Jacob Zuma traveled to Russia.
The Constitutional Court found that Zuma had been unlawfully granted medical parole.
The prisons department has now given the 81-year-old until Friday to provide reasons why he should not serve the remainder of his 15-month sentence.
Zuma was released in September 2021, serving less than eight weeks, after being granted parole by the former head of the prison service, Arthur Fraser, who is considered an ally of Zuma.
The former president was convicted of contempt for failing to cooperate with an anti-corruption investigation during his time in office.
Additionally, Zuma faces a separate trial on corruption and fraud charges related to an arms deal in the late 1990s.
According to the Jacob G Zuma Foundation, his return from Russia was also due to the upcoming private prosecution matter, scheduled to be heard in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Friday.
