The former president wants Ramaphosa to be prosecuted as an accessory after the fact in his private prosecution of Advocate Billy Downer and journalist Karyn Maughan.
The Department of Correctional Services confirmed medical parolee Shabir Shaik's 15 year sentence expired in January 2020, after only serving 2 years in prison.
The trial officially got underway in May 2021, however, its progress has stalled since then, with the case hamstrung by a litany of peripheral litigation.
