Jackie Selebi dies


 The long saga of trials, prison and parole has ended for disgraced former police chief Jackie Selebi, who died on Friday morning after a long illness.

Selebi, who would have turned 65 on the 7th of March, had been in an induced coma for the past two and a half weeks after suffering kidney failure.

ANC spokesman Zizi Kodwa and Selebi's lawyer Wynanda Coetzee, confirmed his death.

The former head of Interpol started serving a 15-year jail sentence in 2011, after being found guilty of corruption in 2010.

He was released on medical parole from Pretoria Central Prison after serving 229 days of his sentence.
