Former president Jacob Zuma was placed on medical parole on Sunday, just under two months since he started serving a 15-month prison sentence.
The Department of Correctional Services said Zuma's medical parole means he will complete the remainder of the sentence in the system of community corrections.
In a statement released on Sunday afternoon, the department said: "Medical parole's eligibility for Mr Zuma is impelled by a medical report received by the Department of Correctional Services. Apart from being terminally ill and physically incapacitated, inmates suffering from an illness that severely limits their daily activity or self-care can also be considered for medical parole."
