Police Minister Bheki Cele says the release of former President, Jacob Zuma on remission is within the South African law. This follows criticism by some opposition parties and ordinary South Africans who say it's unlawful and the timing is questionable. The Department of Correctional Services says this is part of their programme which will also benefit at least nine thousand other prisoners who are jailed for non-violent crimes. Cele says he believes there's nothing suspicious about a decision to make the former president a beneficiary of the latest remissions.
