Edward Zuma, former president Jacob Zuma’s son, has revealed that as far as the family knows, his father is as fit as a soccer player and mentally fit to be the president.
In an interview with Power FM, Edward Zuma is heard saying: “Mentally my father is okay and fit for a president. He is also physically fit as a soccer player.”
Zuma was placed on medical parole, after spending weeks in hospital and also undergoing surgery.
The granting of medical parole has caused an uproar, including the Helen Suzman Foundation writing a letter demanding that the National Correctional Services Commissioner, Arthur Fraser must release the medical details which were the main reasons for placing Zuma on parole.
The foundation is concerned that Zuma was placed on parole without the approval of the Medical Parole Advisory Board.
The DA and Afriforum are heading to the courts about this matter.
Fraser revealed on Wednesday night that he took the decision to place Zuma on parole by himself.
The JG Zuma Foundation and his legal team accused state prosecutor Billy Downer of leaking a medical letter of Zuma to the media.
Foundation spokesperson, Mzwanele Manyi said the legal team has written a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa to lay a complaint against Downer.
Zuma wants Downer to be removed from the arms deal case.
