What utter tripe! :mad:

By Carien Dy Plessis and Bronwyn Gerretsen

Schabir Shaik's breach of his parole conditions in May this year, was not his fault and could be blamed on traffic delays and Woolworths running out of stock.

This is according to the Department of Correctional Services who on Wednesday relaxed Shaik's parole conditions

Asked what the upshot was of its investigation into Shaik's shopping trip to Woolworths in Cowey Road on the Berea in Durban on May 30, correctional services regional head Mnikelwa Nxele said his department was confident Shaik was not at fault for shopping in breach of his parole conditions.

He had been spotted shopping at the store after 2pm, the hour at which his "free time" was supposed to end:

"He was delayed at the store because they were running out of stock and took about 15 minutes to sort it out for him," said Nxele.

"We were satisfied with the explanation from the manager... It was also a busy sporting weekend and so there was heavy traffic. So, between the traffic and shop delays, Shaik was in the shop for more than 20 minutes after 2pm."

It was not the first time that Shaik had breached his parole conditions. In December, he was spotted shopping outside his allotted time and was punished with a cut from six to four hours free time.

On Wednesday, he was back to the pre-December parole conditions, with six free hours, in addition to four hours he is allowed to attend prayers at his mosque on Fridays.

If Shaik behaves in the next three months, he will also get an extra four hours a week to move around freely.

Meanwhile, it emerged on Wednesday that prisoners could soon be released on medical parole without being terminally ill. It could also be possible to return to jail for those who recover from their illnesses.

However, this will not apply to Shaik, as any changes to the law will not be retrospective.

A cabinet committee is set to consider proposed changes to the medical parole system outlined in an amendment to the Correctional Services Amendment Act.

About 60 percent of "terminally ill" prisoners released on medical parole go on to recover their health, according to Correctional Services Department figures.

The ministry's spokesman, Sonwabo Mbananga, on Wednesday said the act had to be amended to facilitate the changes.

Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula had originally wanted changes to the medical parole system effected through regulations to allow for a faster change to the policy, but it had become apparent that the act needed to be amended, Mbananga said yesterday.

He said the change would be effected within this financial year.

"The thinking by the minister in asking for the review was that doctors were reluctant to play sangomas and predict when people will die, because the law at the moment says prisoners must be terminally ill (to be released on medical parole)," he said.

Welcome to South Africa.

Terminally ill prisoners allowed out for parole? What stops a "terminally ill" prisoner from going on a killing spree, taking as many down with him as he can. He's going to die soon anyway,right?
 
I say within a year he will be a 100% free man.
I wonder how much they had to pay the doctor?

Agree - completely within the allowable parameters of the new South Africa. He clearly falls under the rule of law that applies to the elite - not the common taxpayer. Leave Shaik alone. He is a COMRADE!

Bastards!

Agents!

If only the media tribunal was in effect then govamund could silence such outright malicious racist propaganda.
 
Woolworths delivers.

It's the DA's fualt they use underhand tactics and bribes.
 
Only in South Africa.... and then only when you have the ANC on your side to do your bidding.
 
Shaik died 2min after leaving prison, it's the underhanded bribes of the DA that are doing FALSE reporting of Shaik to drag his name in the mud. R.I.P

And this is why a media tribunal would be a good thing, to stop these lies and invasion of privacy!
 
Please.

1. Nxele said his department was confident Shaik was not at fault for shopping in breach of his parole conditions. Confident???? Are they not supposed to simply apply the rules and consider any complaint objectively? Why are they confident that he was not in breach? They are not his legal reps! They ought not to state it in such a manner.

2. If you know you have to be back home by 2pm, what do you do? You PLAN properly!

3. If you see you will not make it, you turn around, leave the shop, go home and send your wife/kid/friend/neighbour to do the shopping, since they are allowed to move freely. For godsakes, is he the butler in that house??

4. A very good civil act of protest against this rubbish, would be to line up a number of individuals who make it their business to know when he is transgressing and report it to the Dept EACH AND EVERY TIME it happens (which, trust me, is often).
 
Why carry on pretending?
Just add this as an episode to a tv series: Jailbreak - Shaik style.

EDIT: I cannot prove this .. yet:
[-]Wait till you hear that he gets paid with your tax money while on parole, and you realise that there is even less that you can do about that.
Crime, it pays.[/-]

Paid what ?

I cannot find anything other than the 1/2 mil medical fee's that were paid during his stay at St Augustines.
Google has failed me.
I cannot even find out if prisoners on parole are allowed to claim the usual government benefits or UIF benefits.
 
If I didn't ahve to work during the day, I'd gladly park outside his house and track his every movement.
