Granting former president Jacob Zuma medical parole was making a mockery of the justice system, DA Leader John Steenhuisen said.

He said following the granting of unlawful medical parole to Schabir Shaik in 2009, Parliament’s portfolio committee on correctional services unanimously supported the amendment of Section 79 of the act, to stipulate that the the minister must establish a medical advisory board to provide an independent medical report to the national commissioner, correctional supervision and parole board or the minister, as the case may be, in addition to a medical report.

“A report on the health status of any prisoner must be subject to the recommendation by an independent board to confirm, in truth, that a prisoner is indeed deserving of medical parole. Given that Jacob Zuma publicly refused to be examined by an independent medical professional, let alone a medical advisory board, this decision is a violation of the act and therefore unlawful,” Steenhuisen said.

He stated that he would be submitting an application in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act for the records of the parole board, to establish what criteria the Department of Correctional Services used to determine Zuma’s eligibility for medical parole. “I will also request that the justice and correctional services committee summon Arthur Fraser to explain to Parliament his decision to grant this medical parole in direct contravention of the Correctional Matters Amendment Act,” Steenhuisen said.

Will be a waste of money.

jsteenhuisen please find out if Mr Zuma got special treatment

Instead of challenging unemployment yaz

Voetsek go and Challenge Dr Death and Botha Genoicide in SA

Poor white boy

I fully support jsteenhuisen.

jsteenhuisen Can he start to challenge R500 bil. Also challenge what TokyoSexwaleSA said on national TV about his close friend ramaphosa

jsteenhuisen hates black people. He never challenged any issue related to white people 🙄😒😕😑

I wonder Who challenge dis

DeanMacpherson I say anybody in prison now..ie white collar, tax evasion etc...not the murdering ilk and scum....should be patrolled as equally as Zuma!!!!

The political equivalent of farting into a tornado...

Am getting tired of this Zuma stories....our people need jobs

Good move we need transparency

Grade 12 to challenge a Doctor, our Country maar, njani John?

Challenge doctors when he's without a matric?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But he never challenge parole for murder of Hani, we see you

KidiPotse Anything to stay relevant, without zuma they have no content.

Is he a doctor?

He must also ask why apartheid war criminal FW De Klerk is not in jail.

A grade 8 drop out John

Ubaba always come TOPS bra these people don’t learn ne

Its easy Jacob

You guys never learn, Zuma wont win you votes.....anikho focused shame. elections are around the corner.

Lol but he couldn’t challenge his academics ?

Someone tell John and friends to kindly voetsek. Thanks

I am also of the Opnion that the Matter should be Challenged! All is NOT WELL! He should be Examined by an Independant Doctor/Physician! There Are More Questions than Answers! It leaves the impression with the Nation that there is a Manipulation or Conspiracy in the Air!!

Wouter Basson, the death doctor is out and even practicing medicine even after killing MK and Swapo cadres. De Klerk authorized cross-border raids that killed even children is out and even got a Nobel for peace-why is he quiet about that?!

I like these media proclamation by Our_DA but with no action at the end 🙄🙄 Let's wait & see if DA has the legal power they always make it sound like they do jsteenhuisen

Instead of challenging Matric😅😅😅

Awwww, want a popsicle little one...awwww 🥺🤣🤣🤣🤣 this loser!

Go John, GO! Nail the bgder!

Lets Zuma relaxed at home please

Unesikhathi sokudlala lo instead of registering to improve his qualification.

Kusangene lokhu... He should just go and try to get a matriculant certificate.

Now that he's out, he must start land distribution

Did he challenge this one

He should challenge a tertiary degree 1st for control 🤣🤣🤣

Baas John, uyaphapha

DA hates black people yooo

Lord I ask for the strength & confidence of a mediocre white man.

Never have I ever, in all of my 48 yrs, seen a bigger coward than one Jacob Zuma. Baie bek, fokkol binnegoed.

This school drop out boy doesn't know how big is JZ

DA move on,get the country working, JZ will dissappear with the rest of the looters. We have a country to rebuild. If you want my vote tell us how,engage on changing the lives of our people.

F.....ck DA.

He must challenge himself and go to school to get a post matric qualification.

Its democracy's freedom of speech &expression,the right to participate in decision making processes. It involves extensive debate or discussion. It ensures transparency or right to know. If citizens want to know the ins and outs of a particular situation,it provides that avenue!

Wat else can you expect from this white boy

Hai makgowa a Tena

Msoon wakhe loyo

Hoerang26 Where was he. Nobody questioned this

Lo baba uyazi ukuthi ku lahlele iR500 billion nenye iR200 million , angisakhulumi amanye nje amaMillion, yena uzanza u chief justice manje. Iskesh lesi👏

The only hope fo this country is now DA. ANC and EFF are out for us...

Domkop he must register to abet school

VernonNaidoo242 I agree. The proper and amended rules must be applied. Not the Shaik rules.

As expected this racists will react this way. But wouldn't say a thing about De klerk

Colonial stooge and proxy.

Predictable of course. By the way Zuma was the only DA policy that sustained them for sometime. The graph hit the plateau with his exit. Anyway good luck with that futile challenge. CertifiedEffVoter

Good luck mfana.

His democratic right, he’s very young to understand the fragile health of senior citizens which they need to be well taken care of

Be nice if he could reign 'dicktator' Winde in too!

Aowa ban,shouldn't he put his focus on the coming exams?

He should be concentrating on winning elections and abandon this obsession about Zuma . His energy should be spent going to the masses and campaigning not this futile and useless grandstanding stunt

He will be schooled on the power of the political economy

Steenhuis when did u become a law pecialist bcas only learned gurus cannot tell us deep about law not you. Pls focis on DA's propaganga against Black members and we continue to celebrate this ANC victory of rebuilding.

He must start by requesting Zuma docket

Usuzobhala U matric ,akayolungisa U matric wakhe

What else could he do to put DA on the limelight again. Helen Godzilla got help from him then he must also try something and he will be strong. Kumnandi e SA kusazoba lit Steenhuis

Can't he use this energy to go back to school?

Imagine any black person taking John & Mmusi seriously? That clearly shows the highest level of stupidity

🤔

Privilege makes them to think they can challenge everything.........no matric but wants to challenge University graduate and Experts in law.....but i blame what apartheid regime has done to them when it comes to privilege

Lol

John buyele askoleni tuhh.

Oooohhhh a whole challenge! 🙄 FokkenToothlessDA

Always wanted to be seen as if he is doing something that empty vessel.

Domkop

Singing for his supper... it was always expected of him....

Can some go and tell this white boy that he must go and challenge things in Netherlands.

Lol ha ha

John wanyela!

He must. We dare him, he must. Let them reveal who they really are so that we know who to deal with when the time comes.

Challange Angello Agrizzis health first.

The role of the opposition party is to have a party

All I see are RET chest pains every time Steenhuisen breathes. Seems the supporters would also qualify for medical parole 😁

Mhla washona uMsholozi bayokuchallenge nakho opilatu laba.

What an injustice to all of SA . This man should be in jail where he belongs . Surely the doctor who checked him should be investigated

They must go to hell

John

Yes, please put him back where he belongs, John. We have an election to see to.

Steenhuisen shouldn't waste his time. He knew that this (the medical parole nonsense) was to come.

MatikuletsheniLESS

Nonsense mlungundini

He must enrol for Matric first before we can take him seriously

Janusz Walus is more sickly than Zuma and Shabir combined, I have nothing to with all of them, but I'm concerned about the principle of this right called Medical Parole in the Con Court.

Tsek wena John, hamba uyo vuligate, abantu bafuna ku jails. Yekela Zuma atihlalele ekhaya. Umdala please chief

Angazophapha lo..

Whatever process that was followed,he's out and he's going to stay out. What about all the other inmates that are sick. My fellow South Africans, this is a political ploy

Here comes the racist

Joni akabuyele eskoleni

John Steenhuisen must challenge himself and go to Unisa or some FET college. He must be up and down with assignments right now and stop trying to be relevant

What a chess move to unite after pulling out to get the elections forwarded

We madoda uJohn, next thing they will challenge ukuthi ilanga liphumelani empumalanga.

And he will fail. The ANC system is excellent at looking after themselves

Another hater… Let him go off!!

I’ll always testify the good good deeds of Mrs KayleighGlover0 in my life and that of the people I’ve referred to her. She is an honest Woman who wants the success of others... feel free to contact Her if you’re in need of another stream of income KayleighGlover0

John thinks he has to oppose everything.

rest-rest-rest and let the oldman enjoy his retirement.When will this onslaught on JZ end...

We know DA challenge everything that has to do with President Zuma

Why DA ele masepa so?

He must deliver services in Tshwane and leave Msholozi in peace

Ukuthumile u Helen Zille, udakiwe live ZUMA alone.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂..

He must voetsek that one.

What I like amongst the reasons is the risk of re-offending when he had just re-offended by showing contempt of court by refusing to be examined by a doctor appointed by the NPA, yet the Correctional Services see no risk of re-offending

This simple shows our politicians don't really care about the south African people who live in ,our country sinking deeply economically,rising unemployment,all they care about is challenge former president JZuma medical parole. They should rebuild our economy and create jobs

He must challenge that.

He must first challenge his educational status

This boy has less respect for black ppl he treats blacks like we are stupid where is Mmusi and Van Damme? Voters lets wake up and deal with the DA harshly in the voters booth.

Let him challenge a LLB degree rather

He should focus on passing matric

John Steenhuisen is a special case

The only thing John should be challenging at his age is his matric exams, otherwise he is going to fail his matric for the fourth time in a row and blame it on BEE like he always does.

Msoon wakhe

Steenhuisen must just tell black DA member WHO are the benefactors of the DA. I just wana see something

He must go to school that one, UNISA has space for him n organise Nzimamde for NSFAS ..he is challenging wrong things.

Does he even know what medical parole is? Chief, go to school.

He won't win and that fvcked up DA won't win either. Bored DA don't you have any other things to do.

He must challenge grade 12 first

Focus on Cape Flats 🙄

Our justice system is such a pathetic one. Another Shabir Shaik. PATHETIC. Corrupt. Under full control of the ANC.

Pikinini💁🏾‍♂️

He should be campaigning, ayekane no Zuma phansi.

Imagine an illiterate uneducated chap challenging people with Masters and PhD

And you said nothing about Agrizzis parole. Eish

Are we going to ask nicely? Like I heard the DA say they won't sleep until the Waterkloof Airforce debacle,heads must role - phoof nothing

Imigodoyi!!!!

Matric Certificate

Start small how about finishing writing your matric 1st

Eyi VOETSEK loyo akaye esikoleni rubbish ndini . Nayi imihlola yengulube ephaliwe bo

The only thing he needs to challenge is finishing high school and go back to his country Holland.

Although I lost respect for Zuma for his greed and ignorance, I think he deserves this parole on humanitarian grounds more especially after surgery.

It's not nice to be a party leader with a matric (grade 12) certificate.

Mandela 'rainbow nation' was just bullshit to Africans, if it's not this one is her madam or Afri-forum

😂😂😂 he is not going to win this one, rest

DA is taking this thing of 'opposition party' literally. 😂

Bass John 😂😂😂

NAKHU SIVELWA INDABA KAZUMA EYE FAMILY✊🏿 AKUSIYO EYAZIFIKA NAMTHALO EZIMHLOLHE

This comment section really ain't it.

Up his father's Jamnandas

Without matric how will he comprehend a legal document? 😂

This one must go back to school and do his matric, only people with medical degrees and law degrees understand what’s happening here!

Is he a dr now? Last time I checked he only has a matric certificate... What the heck?🤔🤔🤔🤔

Can the DA do serious things like service delivery ?

Udakiwe lo, let him challenge his madam Zille statements on justifying Apartheid regime

Tsek DA

So tired of this Zuma poes

Haai Voetsek

Instead of challenging decisions made by educated people can he go finish matric Domkop bass John

He’s having chest pain’s losathane ongafundanga

Wonderful, at least someone is doing something

Must challenge..

A person who barely passed matric thinks he can challenge law experts, jonna weee anc yafa Ramaphosa power ra bona mehlolo

Goodness, rest.

I am changing my mind I will no longer vote for the DA, former president Zuma deserve some rest. Let me look for another party that I can vote for. Any political party that is fighting former president Zuma for no good reason doesnt deserve my vote.

Baya dina abelungu

🙄

Udakwe amasende lo fistiye

Xem

jsteenhuisen definition of a bored high school dropout😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Zuma was not supposed to be in prison at the first place, if John doesn't know what he must do for DA he must resign. Zuma is not a criminal.

The hero we deserve

Lesisdomu sebhunu

This is so pathetic and low.. Sies🤢🚮

This is what happens when you are told forgive oppressors and so called rainbow nation. The audacity and arrogance of white people in this country is on steroids. PresidentZuma

Expected.

At de time ConCourt sentence Ubaba Domkop John was saying Ubaba must respect the constitution of de republic, medical parole is one of de constitutional ryt to a citizen of de Republic

I knew it🤣🤣

Hawu, nangu-ke u baas John. Sengathi eneyakhe I medical report ephikisana neyodokotela. Soyicela ivuthiwe. Ubasi lona nabakubo, abakaze basithande.

His politic is Jacob Zuma

Nobody else has the balls to challenge the obvious and orchestrated strategy to get Zuma out of jail. How quick people forget what was stolen from them and how this country was run into the ground over the last decade.

A man who failed to challenge a mere grade 12 with all the resources & privileges at his disposal

Bass John he must prepare his matric exams is arnd the corner... John didn't knw anything abt Law

Since when is he a medical doctor with his grade 10

Attention seeker

The DA challenges everything!!! Umbhedo (rubbish) bayabheda!!!

I did my research properly Dennismayson7 I must confess nobody handles Bitcoin mining better than you. I'm privilege to have invested my BITCOIN with you sir Dennismayson7 I'M GREATFUL. You are indeed one of the best. Thanks a million🤗🤦‍♂️🙏

Of course he’s going to challenge it, it’s his job to challenge anything done hence he is opposition 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

He must first challenge his high school books.

So we have an apex concourt ruling overruled by some lower level wannabe. Interesting.... who is really in charge....

DeanMacpherson Rightly so as the previous paroled lot undermined the judiciary & now this - Sheik & his mate reunited again

Can he start with the Mayor Of Qheberha

Hahahaha dead 🤣 manager please

Ma se poes

Is he... you know... going to talk to the manager?

Eyi nawe you challenge everything even useless one, we know you're the enemy of Black Child.

Nimesabani kangaka uMongameli uNxamalala weJohani?

He must go to school first

Lo uyasangana he also challenged a march against racist Indians of Phoenix.

Amukelwa17 Mmm

Suprise, suprise!! Actually no suprises there, we know about JS stupidity. It knows no bounds.

He needs a chill 💊

This one need to rest

Can someone please help Steenhuisen to go see a doctor for mental check up'

Tsek

This guys always take instructions and fights on behalf of the ThumaMinaFaction in the ANC MYANC

This guy must go to school, how can challenge a medical report you didn't see.

Can he go challenge the sentencing of Soli Mahlangu then we can talk

He must focus on Elections

He must challenge himself to get a tertiary education Our_DA jsteenhuisen focus Boy Boy

😂😂😂

It was planned and highly political motivated Lamola should be investigated what about other inmates

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

DeanMacpherson Someone should.

Good! We are fully behind you, racist timocrats, on this one! Arthur Fraser and those who cooked up this medical report must take Zuma's place in jail.

Good luck with that

why challenge it? Either we have a funeral real soon, or he lied to South Africans AGAIN, since his normal parole was only due after serving 3.5 months, but medical parole is for the TERMINALLY ILL
