Independent Democrats MP, Avril Harding, has mentioned his disgust with convicted Shabir Shaik’s treatment, saying it’s a fast similar to Yengeni’s.

“Shaik has spent less than 20% of his 75 days in a cell, making this one of the most pleasurable jail term sin South African history”, said Harding.

Harding said that he wants the correctional services department ‘to conduct a full investigation into Shaik’s treatment’.

Harding believes Shaik needs to be protected from himself, which is why he was sent to prison.

“Any other prisoner would be sent to a normal prison hospital, so why the special treatment towards Shaik”, said Harding.
