South African doctor, professor Cyril Karabus, should be home by the end of the week.
That's the word from the Department of International Relations and Cooperation which says Karabus is expected to obtain an exit visa on Wednesday.
The 78-year-old paediatric oncologist has been detained in the UAE since last August after being sentenced in absentia for the death of a Yemeni girl he treated for leukemia in 2002.
Karabus was acquitted in March 21, and won an appeal, but his return to South Africa was delayed because he was on the UAE's database as a fugitive from justice.
