Michael Masutha and the Correctional Supervision and Parole Board (CSPB) have complied with the order of the North Gauteng High Court, delivered by Judge Selby Baqwa on 29 May 2015. In terms of the court order, the Minister and the CSPB of Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre were required to determine parole conditions for the release of Clive Derby-Lewis on medical parole by no later than today 5th of June 2015. According to the order, the Judge had ordered his placement on parole with immediate effect. This means that offender Derby-Lewis has been on parole upon issuing of the court order, and the only outstanding matter was determining of the conditions by the Minister and the CSPB.
