Former police chief and convicted criminal Jackie Selebi, who was released on medical parole in 2012 in a reportedly critically ill state, was photographed shopping in Pretoria on Sunday.

The photo was published in Beeld and its sister paper, "Die Burger", on Monday morning.

Selebi was chauffeured in his luxury BMW 6-series to a shopping centre in Monument Park to buy the Sunday papers.

Selebi spoke to a few shoppers before he bought his newspaper.

He walked without any assistance, and reportedly seemed to be in good health.

The medical parole board on July 20 2012 decided that Selebi could be released because he was suffering from irreversible kidney failure, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Selebi was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment in August 2010 for taking bribes from convicted drug dealer Glenn Agliotti.
