A South African high court has ordered Jacob Zuma, the 79-years old former president of South Africa back to jail on Wednesday to serve the remainder of his 15-months sentence, Reuters reports say.

In September, Mr Zuma had begun his medical parole and was also serving his 15-months sentence for contempt of court following his refusal to appear for a corruption enquiry.

The Pretoria high court ordered that Mr Zuma be returned to the custody of the department of correctional services to serve the remaining of his 15-months sentence after setting aside an earlier decision for his release on medical parole.
