Zuma became a free man on Friday, 7 October, when he was released from the correctional services system, according to EWN.

“I want to thank you all for what you did because you showed that no one could be unjust under your watch. As people of South Africa, you should also show such support to others too,” said Zuma.

In a clip posted by Newzroom Afrika, Msholozi can be seen in good spirits and even entertained the crowd gathered outside the Pietermaritzburg High Court and even sang his iconic song uMshini Wam. The crowd joined in on the singing and added whistles to the tune.

"Corruption-accused former President Jacob Zuma, who was released from jail on medical parole due to supposedly being terminally ill, is seen singing & dancing outside of the court. Remarkable recovery."

@Mphoriaaza said:

"This one can fool people shame I salute him, but he will never fool me."

@Delela_ka_staze said:

"It's not easy to hate this man, his humour is something else."

@Mphooowza said:

"We gave this man the highest office on the land, and we are still landless and not free. What exactly does he want to do with this mshini that he’s been singing about?"

@stellenmac said:

"His doctor must be really frecking amazing! From medical parole cause, he was on death's door to dancing and singing ... Bloody miracle."

@StueyMax said:

"Sick enough for medical parole but healthy enough to take journalists to court, sing & dance."

Jacob Zuma dances with family after being declared a free man, video sparks mixed emotions from SA citizens

Briefly News previously reported that Friday, 7 October, officially marked the end of former President Jacob Zuma's 15-month sentence for being in contempt of court. Celebrating with his family, Zuma grooved the night away as if he was in tip-top shape and in good health.

Zuma spent the last few months of his sentence under Kranskop Community Corrections due to apparent ill health. A decision many still question, and even more so now.

A video showing Zuma living his best free man life has been doing its rounds on social media. The hot tea that follows this man is not even surprising anymore.
