The 2012 Oscar goes to Mr Selebi...

We could start a blog on the goings on of the African Police Chiefs, past and present.


We visit an old story, with a new but predictable twist.
Two weeks ago, after serving a whole two months of a 15 years sentence, Ex INTERPOL and SAPS boss, Comrade Jacki was released of medical parole. To keep up appearances, he was transferred to the Steve Biko hospital and then to Jakaranda Hospital, in Pretoria. It was rumoured that he was receiving dialysis three times a day for his medical condition.
His diagnosis is supposedly: Renal failure, possible cancer and diabetes. He was released by the 'new' Medical Parole Advisory Board as he was in the 'final stages of his disease'. (We have heard that one before- a certain Schabir Shaik, picture below, was also in the last stages of living, but made a miracle recovery and is pretty actively living it up around Durban's night life and golf courses.)

For those of you who can remember, a pretty well looking Selebi suddenly became gravely ill once his appeal against his sentence was dismissed. He apparently collapsed and was taken to hospital. (and at that time the media and public were predicting he would see a medical parole release.)

Firstly Selebi received preferential treatment when jumping the queue of some 80 other patients, for dialysis,  and secondly, he is granted medical parole in a short time, whilst many other near death patients, who apply are denied and die in prison.

Sources at Steve Biko hospital, report that Mr Freedom 2012, has not reported to the hospital for dialysis for a week now, supposedly now needing it every 48 hours.
Even more disturbing, are that Selebi is using his police medical aid to obtain private medical service. If a convicted fraudster, with not means of income, still has the right to use his police medical aid, surely something is seriously wrong.

He is now under House arrest....his parole conditions are considered strict bu the department of correctional service. You decide...from Monday to Friday he has two hours free time and weekend..where he can go to church, buy a newspaper, go for coffee and so on. Help me understand how this is strict? If he is so sick, he should not even be able to go out..but hey..as we have seen with politically connected people, they are prone to miracle recoveries. (oh and any medical treatment, even if it takes the whole day away from his prison home, is not counted as free time.)

Further- he may not use drugs or abuse alcohol. Now- somebody in the so called, final stages of renal failure, should not even be allowed to be within a 100 meters of any form of alcohol, let alone, not abuse it.
Unless he has permission he cannot leave the Pretoria area or move houses.

Obvioulsy everybody who can, is denying any political influence...but please..how stupid do the authorities think the public is?
Soon he will make another recovery and as with Mr S, who plays golf often, his parole conditions will be lessened and he will be a free crook.....great lesson this sends out to the youngsters...and a great message to the world..
