The court made decisions a few weeks ago regarding former President Jacob Zuma’s release from prison late last year.

Zuma was released on medical parole, however this month the courts said the decision was unlawfully and illegal.

The JGZ Foundation released a statement saying the former head of state was in Russia due to health reasons.

It further stated that Zuma followed all requests from the Constitutional Court and that he had nothing else to add.
