South Africa’s security agencies are on high alert to quash any possible disturbances following the revoking of former President Jacob Zuma’s medical parole.

The Gauteng High Court on Wednesday said Mr Zuma was unlawfully granted parole and should be returned to jail.

The former Head of State was in July jailed for 15 months for contempt of court after he refused to obey summons to appear before the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of State Capture.

But he served just two months of his sentence at Estcourt Correctional Centre in KwaZulu-Natal before being released on medical grounds.

His initial imprisonment sparked violent protests in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
