Jacob Zuma Foundation Says Former President Made a Submission to Correctional Services Commissioner, SA Split

• Jacob Zuma Foundation confirmed Zuma's submissions to the Correctional Services Commissioner on his possible return to jail
• This follows the Constitutional Court's rejection of the appeal to challenge Zuma's medical parole, citing low chances of success
• South African citizens on social media weighed in on uncertainty surrounding Zuma's medical parole

PRETORIA - The Jacob Zuma Foundation has confirmed that former President Jacob Zuma has made submissions to the Correctional Services Commissioner regarding the possibility of his return to jail.

Jacob Zuma's fate of returning to jail hangs in the balance

This comes after the Constitutional Court recently rejected the Correctional Services' application to appeal the Supreme Court of Appeal's (SCA) decision on Zuma's medical parole, stating that the appeal had no reasonable chance of success.

The dismissal has raised questions about whether the time Zuma spent on medical parole would count towards his 15-month sentence, reported EWN.

In another article, Briefly News reported that the organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) is less than impressed with how the State Attorney handled the issue of money owed from former President Jacob Zuma's corruption trial.

Outa CEO Wayne Duvenage said the fact that the State Attorney had not recovered a cent of R18.2 million spent on the trial reeked of incompetence.
