Former president Jacob Zuma could spend the next long weekend in the comfort of his Nkandla homestead, according to his brother Joseph.
The Jacob Zuma Foundation’s Mzwanele Manyi said the date of discharge will not be made public due to security reasons.
The 79-year-old former head of state started serving his sentence in July after he was found guilty of contempt of court for failure to comply with an order of the Constitutional Court to honour a summons to appear before the state capture inquiry. The family told TimesLIVE previously that Zuma had been unwell since he was “poisoned” in 2014. The Sunday Times reported that he travelled to Russia to confirm the diagnosis and undergo treatment.
