Jacob Zuma, a former leader of South Africa, has been released from the Correctional Services system, the government department announced on Friday.
Zuma was released from prison in September of last year on medical parole; his 15-month sentence expired on October 7.
This development comes after the former President said he is available for election as ANC national chairperson at the party’s December conference.
Zuma also threw his weight behind his former wife and current ANC NEC member Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma (NDZ) as his preferred person to contest again for the governing party’s top position.
Dlamini-Zuma lost a close contest to incumbent Cyril Ramaphosa at the December 2017 Nasrec conference and recently confirmed she would like another shot at it.
