Apart from Zuma and Shaiks multitude of "cronies" at the ANC, who really cares if he gets a heart attack?
What goes around eventually comes around.

his condition is probably as terminal as an HIV positive patient who is in jail and not on ARVs. His risk of a cardiovascular incident is about as high as one of these patients developing a life threatening opportunistic infection and dying - should we release all the HIV positive patients with CD4 counts less than 200 who are not on ARVs. This situation is so disgusting - it makes me ashamed to know there are fellow medical professionals out there with such poor ethical standards. He is a criminal and should be in jail.

I came across a very interesting report on the pmg dot org web site about a parliamentary meeting chaired Mr. D Bloem(ANC) on 16 Sep, 2008 which dealt with medical parole and also discussed Mr. Shaik’s situation. I was concerned because I had just read in a SABC report which referred to the medical “RELEASE” of Mr. Shaik. In the PMG report it’s stated that PAROLE is “a release on conditional basis with a return if the inmate failed to comply with the conditions”. Is Mr. Shaik on medical PAROLE or medical RELEASE? (The document signed by Dr. Naidoo calls for medical PAROLE) The other day Mr. Balfour stated that he had no mandate over offenders who have been released from prison. I challenged that statement because an offender on parole is still under the control of the CS. However if Mr. Shaik was on medical RELEASE, then Mr. Balfour does not quite rightly have any further mandate. As a result of Mr. Balfour’s statement I am wondering if Mr. Shaik was indeed released instead of being placed on parole. The granting of medical release of Mr. Shaik is extremely serious because he can now do exactly as he likes and he can not be returned to prison. He now no longer has a sentence to complete. Or have I got it wrong. If he is indeed terminally ill and does die within the foreseeable future there’s no problem. But if he survives and his health improves there would be a serious problem. Incidently up to July 2008 the cost of Mr. Shaik’s hospitalization was R219 650, 50 - ultimately paid for by the good citizens of South Africa. Add to that another seven months of sitting in hospital with no further treatment.

I believe that if he can balance his diet and start running or doing some few workouts, the guy will go back to his normal life and start enjoying our tax money behind bars and it will help him offcourse to save his fortune cos he won't need them. This is just the ANC tactics to avoid Msholozi to give his pal a presidential pardon because the community will see who really JZ is.

The doctor in question did not say 'he will' but that he 'may'. Whih counts pretty much for all of us. In other words - the doc's statement is an empty one.

let me say this...why dont all of the people who are against his release , put their names on a list (including all the political parties representatives). That way , if he is sent back to jail and dies there, Shabir's family will know who exactly to sue the crap out of...

Yippeeee hope he does have a heart attack. Good riddance to bad criminal rubbish.

Tough Titties! Half of the executive's in this country are also a "high risk". This is pure unadulterated drivel.

Anyone with a heart is at risk of heart attack, and any arse who scoffs junk food and smokes cubans is at a high risk of heart attach..... What a load of BS.... also how many other prisoners have heart disease and the likes and they dont get parole..... This total K*K!!!!(Edited by IOL)

Shaik is a thief. Shaik is a liar. Shaik is a criminal. Shaik belongs behind bars. Just like his b.f.f. - the shower-king!
