[Shabir Shaik is a prissy little scumbag don’t you think? He is so used to his HIGH-and-MIGHTY lifestyle that prison is somewhat cramping and from the day he arrived he has been trying all sorts of things to get special treatment.

He’s in prison and now he’s suffering from “depression and stress!” Oh shame! I am so SORRY that prison didn’t lighten your mood and brighten your day – asshole!

If I were in charge of Law and Order in this country… God forbid! – there would be public HANGINGS every day, broadcast live on all the TV channels and minor scum like Shabir Shaik would be working off his stress with a pick and a shovel building roads. And if he tried to escape… the guards would shoot him dead on the spot…

But doesn’t all this SPECIAL TREATMENT Shaik and Yengeni get just make you sick to the pit of your stomach? The law in this country is such a joke if you’re high profile AND connected with the ANC. Jan]

Convicted Durban businessman Schabir Shaik has been admitted to a Durban hospital, correctional services officials said on Monday.

Staff and visitors at St Augustines Hospital on Monday revealed that Shaik was being treated at the hospital.

Shaik, admitted under the alias Mr Jones, had been admitted into hospital on Friday and is being treated for depression and stress.

The department of correctional services refused to divulge his condition but confirmed that he was in hospital.

“We can only acknowledge that he has been taken to hospital,” said deputy commissioner of communications for correctional services Manelisi Wolela.

A St Augustine™s staffer, who requested anonymity, said Shaik, who has been placed in the hospital™s Renal Transplant Unit had arrived with a blue eye.

He has not been eating and goes to the bathroom for long periods of time,” he said.

He said about 20 policemen were guarding Shaik™s private room.

Before his admission to St Augustine™s Shaik had been kept in the hospital section of Empangeni™s Qalakabusha Prison after beginning to serve his 15 year sentence for fraud and corruption.

In mid-November he was visited in the hospital wing by Judge Nathan Erasmus, the Inspecting Judge of Prisons.

Judge Erasmus revealed at the time Shaik was moved to a hospital cell at Qalakabusha because he has “serious” medical conditions, which prison doctors felt could not be monitored adequately at Westville Prison.

Like other prisoners he was eating cabbage and phutu.

Erasmus, who spent time with Shaik during his visit, said it was clear that the once high-flying businessman was distressed.

He said he had been presented with documentation and it appeared that Shaik had entered Westville Prison with a medical certificate about his condition.

The judge was not at liberty to disclose the nature of Shaik’s illness, but said it had a five-year medical history.

He had examined medical reports and was convinced that there was a need for Shaik to be held in the hospital section.

Other reports at the weekend said Shaik had decided to launched a Constitutional Court challenge against his convictions, sentence and asset forfeiture of R33,7 million.
