The possibility of Zuma returning to prison comes after the Constitutional Court upheld a previous order declaring the former president's release on medical parole illegal. 


Zuma served two months of his 15-month sentence for contempt of court in 2021. 


The Department's Singabakho Nxumalo says those wanting to comment on the matter have until the 4th of August to do so.


"Thereafter, the National Commissioner will consider every material relevant to the matter, including guiding prescripts within the space of Corrections and make a decision."
