I recall on “RRAAAACCCIIISSSTT” websites a while back, that it was stated that it won’t be long before ANC Justice takes it toll and Shaik is released looooong before he has paid his dues to society.
Judge for yourself:

Jacob Zuma’s former financial adviser, jailed businessman Schabir Shaik, could be home within months. Shaik, convicted on two counts of corruption and one of fraud, based on evidence of a corrupt relationship between himself and Zuma, was sentenced to 15 years in jail in 2005. In the two years and three months that he has been in jail, he has spent most of the time in either private or prison hospitals due to high blood pressure, depression and chest pains, which have been claimed to be life threatening. It appears that a section in the Criminal Procedure Act, which formed part of a ruling in the landmark 2007 Supreme Court of Appeal case of David Ashley Price versus the Minister of Correctional Services, could assist in Shaik’s release.

In the judgment, the court ruled that section 276A of the Criminal Procedure Act allowed for the conversion of imprisonment into correctional supervision in a case where a person had been sentenced to imprisonment for a period exceeding five years but the date of release was not more than five years in the future, and if the commissioner or a parole board was of the opinion that the person was fit to be subjected to correctional supervision. The act allows for an application to the clerk or registrar of the court for the prisoner to appear before a court to reconsider the sentence.In Shaik’s case, his earliest date of release would be seven-and-a-half years. He has already served two years and three months of the 15-year sentence, and in three months he would have served two-and-a-half years, meaning his earliest date of release would be less than five years “in the future”. If Shaik makes the application, the clerk or the registrar of the court must consult with the prosecutor and set the matter down for a specific date on the roll of the court concerned.After hearing the matter, the court may convert a sentence into correctional supervision on conditions which it deemed fit.Schabir Shaik’s brother Mo said his family were aware of the possibilities that the judgment presented and that their legal team were closely studying the judgment.Mo said his brother Schabir was extremely ill and that the family would continue to look at all possible avenues to get him released. Department of Correctional Services spokesperson Bheki Manzini on Friday said the department would need to read through the judgments because it would be difficult to comment as their interpretation of the Price judgment might differ.
