The DA’s John Steenhuisen today filed papers to the Gauteng High Court  to review and set aside the decision to place former President Jacob Zuma on medical parole.

Steenhuisen says the Correctional Services Commissioner, Arthur Fraser’s decision, to grant Zuma medical parole, was unlawful.

The DA says the decision was against the recommendation of the Medical Parole Advisory Board not to grant medical parole to Zuma.

The DA-leader also says Fraser’s decision was not permitted by section 79 of the Correctional Services Act.
