South Africa's ex-police chief Jackie Selebi has arrived in prison in a wheelchair to begin his 15-year jail sentence for corruption, reports say.
...
The Supreme Court of Appeals last week upheld Selebi's conviction for taking bribes worth $156,000 (£103,000) from convicted drug dealer Glenn Agliotti to turn a blind eye to his business.
Selebi was a senior member of South Africa's ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC).
He is the most senior official appointed by the government to have been sentenced for corruption.
