South African former President Jacob Zuma has returned from Russia where he has been receiving medical treatment.
“The check-up and observations went well,” his foundation said in a statement.
His trip came after he lost a case last month at the Constitutional Court, where he had tried to overturn a ruling that he must return to prison.
The Constitutional Court ruled that Zuma had been granted medical parole unlawfully.
The prisons department has now given the 81-year-old until Friday to submit reasons why he should not serve out the rest of his 15-month sentence.
Zuma was released in September 2021 after serving less than eight weeks.
He had been convicted of contempt, after refusing to co-operate with an anti-corruption enquiry during his term in office.
