South Africa’s former President Jacob Zuma returns from Russia.

South Africa’s former President Jacob Zuma has returned from Russia where he has been receiving medical treatment. The BBC reports that his trip came after he lost a case last month at the Constitutional Court, where he had tried to overturn a ruling that he must return to prison. SA’s prisons department has now given the 81-year-old until Friday to submit reasons why he should not serve out the rest of his 15-month sentence.
