Presidential Spokesperson Vincent Magwenya says the new programme to reduce overcrowding in jails signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa wasn’t for any specific individuals. He’s been reacting to the DA and other opposition parties who claim that former President Jacob Zuma was released under false pretensesMagwenya has been speaking on the side-lines of the Presidential Imbizo in the Chris Hani District Municipality in the Eastern Cape.
“The President signed a remission for a number of prisoners, it wasn’t specific to one particular individual, so it just happened that Zuma formed part of that process as it was decided by the Department of Correctional Services.
