JOHANNESBURG - Three organisations have launched a court bid to obtain the reasons for former president Jacob Zuma's release on medical parole and have that decision set aside.
The DA, AfriForum and the Helen Suzman Foundation have filed papers in the High Court in Pretoria to review Zuma’s release.

This after the Correctional Services National Commissioner Arthur Fraser admitted in an interview he released Zuma despite a report advising otherwise.
Fraser has declined to respond to the organisations, while the court is expected to set down a date at the end of next month for the hearing.
