Shaik has now gone for exploritory surgery cause there is somehtin wrong with his heart but they don't know what. Thats brilliant!!! He has effectively set up an excuse as to why, when his Con Court appeal fails, he cant go to jail or at least needs to go to a medical facility, which has less security and is populated by less hardcore inamtes.

If i were his lawyer I would say: Although Mr Shaik has been found guilty and has been sentenced to serve time in jail, he cannot be confined to jail because as a result of a heart condition Mr Shaik requires constant medicla attention. While Mr Shaik needs to pay for his crimes his cannot be expeced to do so at teh risk of his life. It is therefore argued before this honourbale court that alternative mechanims be empoyed to ensure that Mr Shaik serves his debt to society. it is humbly suggested that Mr Shaik be amde to serve the very community he has wronged, what better way to achieve a balance between the repayment of a civil benefit and the preservation of Mr Shaik's right to life, which I might add is an inalliable right as enshrined in our own Constitution.

Well before he gets placed under house arrest I really hope they take his house away. Then he can choose between a township shack or jail :D..

How long has it been since he first walked into jail?

Not long..not really that sure he has even been to jail yet..has he.. I know he went for a erally short while, but then they launched an appeal, and I think he is out now again. I also hope they take his house away

Google said he entered the jail on Nov 6... His appeals are happening while he stays in Jail/Hospital so he's been there over a month now...

Still has some time to go I think

Oh pleez.

Derrick Mdluli, provincial chairperson of the Justice for Prisoners and Detainees Organisation for Human Rights, confirmed the meeting with Shaik on Monday.

Has anyone ever heard of either this man or his organisation?

He's just stirring the pot so he can see his name in the papers.

Apparently house arrest is only reserved for the terminally ill. So there is no chance of Shaik getting that unless he is dying.
