South Africa’s ex-President Jacob Zuma travelled to Russia last week for health reasons, his foundation says.
“He will be returning to the country once his doctors have completed their treatment,” its statement said.
The announcement comes a day after the Constitutional Court upheld a ruling that Zuma was granted medical parole unlawfully in September 2021.
He had been released from prison after serving less than eight weeks of a 15-month sentence.
Zuma, now aged 81, had been jailed for failing to attend an inquiry into corruption during his presidency.
He was forced to resign because of the allegations in 2018 after nine years in office – but has repeatedly maintained he is the victim of a political conspiracy.
