On 15 December 2021, the high court reviewed the decision of the Commissioner, set it aside, and substituted it with one rejecting Mr Zuma’s application for medical parole. It consequently directed that Mr Zuma be returned to the custody of the Department of Correctional Services (the Department) to serve out the remainder of his sentence of imprisonment. The high court also ordered that the time Mr Zuma was out of jail on medical parole should not be considered for the fulfilment of the sentence of 15 months imposed by the Constitutional Court. This order was sought by the Helen Suzman Foundation.

In addition, the high court issued a declaratory order, at the instance of Afriforum, that in terms of s 79(1)(a) of the Correctional Services Act 111 of 1998 (the Act), read with regulations 29A and 29B promulgated in terms thereof, the statutory body to recommend whether medical parole should be granted or not is the Medical Parole Advisory Board (the Board). With the leave of the high court, the Commissioner and Mr Zuma appeal against the whole order.
