Zuma was sentenced to 15 months by the ConCourt but was released three months into his term.

The African National Congress President Cyril Ramaphosa has no regrets in granting former President Jacob Zuma remission of sentence.

The Electoral Commission upheld objections to Zuma’s candidacy for the MK Party for the upcoming elections due to the sentence. “No, there’s no regret. We took the decision, as we decided that we should move in that direction. And the remission was a generalized mission. It was not specific to him. So when I took the decision, it was not specifically aimed at former President Jacob Zuma. It was a broad decision that affected many other people who needed a remission and it was being done so that we can reduce the numbers of people in our prisons because they are burgeoning at the seams.
