South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal is expected to deliver its ruling on the legality of former president Jacob Zuma’s medical parole – ultimately deciding if he will remain a free man on parole, or have to return to prison immediately.

Zuma is not required to attend the hearing, however, it’s unclear whether he will or not.

Earlier this year, Zuma requested that the court overturn a separate high court decision that found his release on medical parole unlawful and ordered Zuma back to prison.
