In a previous entry I spoke warmly about the esteemed Mr Schabir Shaik, South Africa's favourite fraudster. This piece is a little follow on because the tale is full of entertainment value.
A statement from the presidency on 19th of October 2009, confirmed that it has recieved a request for presidential pardon, on 24th April 2009, from the above ex jailbird or hospital bird in this case (the same wonderful man who made us all believe that modern day miracles are alive and well.).
This being a pretty big story as Mr S was a close friend of our beloved president , Dr Jacob Zuma (he of many wives and an honoury doctorate-even with only primary school education).
At first Doc Z denied there was an application at all- making him virtually the only person in South Africa who did not know of this.
Of course old Zuma being the great dancer he is (his 'falling' wedding dance is used as reference here), danced around and twisted his denial to say that he has over 300 applications and that 'I have nothing in front of me'!!!!
Of course this is pretty funny on one front because he is a fool to actually try to deny this, when even his wives I am sure, knew that brother Shaik had applied. But it is serious in that he thinks he can lie to the country and expect us to cling on to every false word he says. Just as they expected us to swallow the unlikely story that Merc driving, golf playing Mr S had a week to live, before he was 'cured'.
Only the stupid or the blind followers will believe that Shaik will not be pardoned. Even if it on the sly, JZ will sign it off with a smile and a glass of Johnny Blue (the official ANC drink it seems )...Old Shaik will be pardoned....and there is nothing anybody can really do about it.
Democracy welcomes you.....
