Zuma would have pardoned him anyways. I guess 2 months doesn't make much difference.
 
I don't think Zuma is stupid enough to have abused his powers like that so blatantly. I reckon Zuma's had a hand in this going through though. Medical reasons my arse...:mad:
 
Is this just more Zim 2.0 writing on the wall?

Can just see which way our economy is going - a sneak preview of the Zuma dollar.

all the naysayers aside,
i think there are enough sensible in this country to stop any slide.
anyway from what i hear a person qualifies for medical parole only if they are terminally ill and are in the final stages of their lives (like have weeks to live). that person is released to die in some dignity and at home with their loved ones.

if shaik is being released it means he has weeks to live.
however if he's being released for political reasons (very likely) then they corrections dept has big problems. there are 1000's of terminally ill people in prison and i'm sure they will all be poised to have whatever shaik is having.

In an interview he gave, mentioned here http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=13&art_id=vn20090303045915138C255048 , Zuma stated that he would pardon his chommie when he won the April elections.

Guess he is getting his cabinet ready...

Hmm... from that link:

However, the decision to release Shaik on medical parole is bound to stir up a hornet's nest. The Correctional Services Act states that a prisoner can be released on medical parole only when an inmate is diagnosed as "terminally ill by a medical doctor".

According to Wiktionary:

Having an incurable condition that will lead to death.

And according to Health Insurance Sort:

In healthcare and insurance usage, this term is used to describe a person who is not expected to live beyond six months due to a specific illness.

So, Shaik is expected to be dead in a few months?

Shaik is no more closer to death than we are. This is a bullsh !t tactic by the gvt to please their new master.
 
Anyone know of Spigadora restaurant, here in durban? Guess who had a late night supper there last Thursday night. Yes, correct, him and his brothers, and he did not see that ill.
 
Lets face it , the reasons shaik being jailed was just a tactic to get to zuma from the ANC and it fell apart , this guy did nothing more then what the average business man would do to survive from day to day.
Charged 15 years for playing a middle man? what a joke
15 years for paying someone for a deal? what is the difference between that and taking him out on say a hunting trip its not bribing, nah I am not 100% convinced that he would belong in jail from the start.
