Fraud convict Schabir Shaik, now out on medical parole, has denied violating his parole conditions by playing golf in Durban as reported in October.

Correctional Supervision and Parole Review Board chairperson Judge Siraj Desai on Wednesday renewed his call for a review of the medical parole system

About 65% of people who had in the past been released on medical parole are still alive, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said on Thursday.

Niuren Tolsi bumped into Schabi Shaik just after midnight at a 24-hour petrol station shop near his home in Morningside two weeks ago.
