Quickest 15 years of his life. He'd better croak the second he walks out the door...

Corruption-convicted former police commissioner Jackie Selebi will be released from prison on Friday, Correctional Services Minister Sibusiso Ndebele announced in Pretoria.

"Mr Selebi will be going home today," he told a media briefing in Pretoria.

The former police chief was convicted of corruption and sentenced to 15 years in jail, but since his incarceration Selebi has been in and out of hospital due to ill health.

Earlier on Friday, Ndebele's spokesperson Logan Maistry said the case was under consideration.

"Mr Selebi has not been well and the job of the Medical Advisory Board is to look into the condition of inmates who have been unwell," said Maistry.

I want to be Zuma's friend too, it seems to be the best place to be these days.
 
Wow...just wow... if you're connected to the ANC you might as well become a criminal (if you arn't already), fake sickness is your out of jail card.
 
What about all the other prisoners who are very ill ? Is Jackie Selebi terminally ill, or on what grounds is he being released ?

I must say I am surprised though, because Selebi is not in the Zuma camp (he is/was in the Mbeki camp).
 
Incredible how ill these politically connected inmates get. Is there something contagious about the ANC, apart from corruption, nepotism, fraud and ineptitude?

Do you think it really matters which illness they make up for him?
 
In June 2010 Derby-Lewis applied for parole on the grounds that he was over 70, and was entitled to parole in terms of South African law for having served in excess of 15 years in prison.

In November 2010, Derby-Lewis' lawyer reported that Derby-Lewis was receiving treatment for skin cancer and prostate cancer, hypertension, and for a gangrenous spot in his leg.
