eNCA | DA wants Shaik back behind bars
CAPE TOWN – The Democratic Alliance wants President Jacob Zuma’s former financial adviser Schabir Shaik back behind bars.
The party plans to write to Correctional Services Minister Michael Masutha, asking him to take the matter to court.
Shaik was released on medical parole in 2009.
He had served just two years and four months of his 15-year sentence for fraud and corruption.
Medical parole is normally given to terminally-ill prisoners, based on written evidence provided by a medical practitioner.
The DA pointed out that Shaik remains alive and well, eight years after being released.
