First world politics. <p>Schabir Shaik has been granted leave to <a href="http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&#38;click_id=13&#38;art_id=qw1132067520924B263">appeal</a> one of his corruption charges.

However this is only an appeal for one of the convictions (out of three) and only on limited grounds.</p> <p>But check out this quote:</p> <blockquote> <p>Schabir is presently on a leave of absence from work. The appeal is consuming much of his time.</p> </blockquote> <p>Besides setting up dodgy arms deals and making sure Jacob Zuma&#8217;s mortage didn&#8217;t default what did this guy do?</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> Just heard Shaik will be able to appeal all three convictions.</p> Tue, 15 Nov 2005 15:02:00 -0600 urn:uuid:26cf36f12916993b44f49823ff90613c Farrel http://www.politics.za.net/articles/2005/11/15/schaik-goes-back-to-court Zuma Affair http://www.politics.za.net/articles/trackback/8
