Fraud convict Schabir Shaik has been admitted to hospital, Correctional Services Department officials said on Monday.
The offcials refused to divulge his condition but confirmed that he was in hospital.
”We can only acknowledge that he’s been taken to hospital,” said deputy commissioner of communications Manelisi Wolela.
The South African Press Association has reliably learnt that he was taken to St Augustine’s Hospital and was under police guard. – Sapa
