JOHANNESBURG - In his almost three-and-a-half years as prisons boss, Arthur Fraser overrode a negative recommendation from the Medical Parole Advisory Board only once.In September, Eyewitness News submitted a request in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act to the Department of Correctional Services. We wanted details around Fraser’s tenure as national Correctional Services commissioner - specifically the handling of parole cases during this period.
But as the High Court found, despite Fraser’s insistence that the Correctional Services Act conferred a “discretion” on the commissioner, he could not overrule the board’s recommendation. These figures show - at the very least - that Fraser never used the power they claim he had to give anyone else the same lucky break that he gave Zuma.
Six applicants died before their applications could be finalised and 35 others were released on different kinds of parole in the interim.ALSO READ: Arthur Fraser asked to explain why Zuma was granted medical parole
