Schabir Shaik wants his presidential pardon – and his R2 million loan back from President Jacob Zuma – the man whom, according to a court finding, he bribed.
It is more than three years since Shaik applied for his presidential pardon. He is no closer now to finding out if he will get his much-sought-after freedom and nor has he heard from Zuma, a former close friend.
Offered a plea bargain by the state before he went on trial, Shaik said he chose to remain silent for fear of being assassinated and because of his loyalty to his “comrades”.
Shaik last week said he felt used.

He is still alive it seems and wants his money!!!
Reading the article it is clear that if you were in "the struggle" you don't throw your comrades under the bus even when you/they are involved in criminal activities.
