Ex-South African leader Zuma can appeal return to jail

Associated Press  

JOHANNESBURG — Former South African President Jacob Zuma will be allowed to appeal a court ruling that ordered him back to jail to serve the remainder of his sentence, a judge ruled Tuesday. Zuma’s release on medical parole had been granted by former correctional services commissioner Arthur Fraser against the recommendation of the parole board. Zuma’s lawyer, Dali Mpofu, had argued that returning him to jail “is equivalent to a death sentence.” “You are saying he must return to that place where the medical doctors and prison authorities say they cannot cater for him,” Mpofu said. “Then what else is going to happen except that he must die there.” Zuma’s imprisonment in July sparked protests by supporters who demanded his immediate pardon and release from jail.
