Political parties demand presidential pardon for political prisoners

The parties claim that some have applied for presidential pardon and others are hopeful that the Correctional Services Board will consider them for parole.“We are really frustrated as the IFP about this unwarranted delay on the part of the President to give those political prisoners that are still languishing in jail, 25 years after our liberation. As the IFP we had a long list of such people about 400 of them. Up to this point nothing has actually been done.

Pan Africanist Congress of Azania’s deputy president Mzwanele Nyhontso says they are running out of patience and want the release of all political prisoners. “We do not need a presidential pardon, we need them to be released in a true liberated area .

“We have restarted the process over the past few years and culminating to the current president, now considering the matter afresh, so until the president makes an indication of how he want to proceed with the matter, I think that is as far as I can give.”
