Shaik is currently being investigated by
the police and correctional services for attacking a female
journalist at the Papwa Sewgolum Golf Course in Durban.
He did not like the questions that she asked him, so he
grabbed her throat, slapped her on both cheeks and asked
her if she was a ‘terrorist’.
On Friday, being a so-called Muslim, Shaik
went to the Masjid-al-Hilal mosque in Overport Durban for
the Friday noon prayers.
When he arrived outside the mosque there was no parking
close to the mosque, so he parked his Chrysler Jeep in the
driveway of the car park.
42-year-old accountant Mohammed Ismail’s
daughter suffers from nephritic syndrome, a sometimes-fatal
illness.
On Friday afternoon, Ismail received an
emergency call from his doctor , telling him that they urgently
needed his help regarding his five-year-old daughter.
When Ismail rushed out to his car in the parking lot of
the mosque, he found that he was blocked in by a Chrysler
Jeep parked in the driveway.
When Shaik eventually returned to the vehicle
he ignored Ismail.
"There was no apology... so I hooted,"
Ismail said.
Shaik then got out of his vehicle and walked
to where Ismail was sitting in his car.
‘What’s your problem!’ demanded an agitated
Shaik.
When Ismail informed him of the situation with his daughter
, and equally agitated asked Shaik ‘How the hell can
you park like that? What kind of a Moslem are you? (sic)’
a heated argument ensued.
Shaik then reached into Ismail’s Mercedes
Benz and proceeded to repeatedly punch him the face, before
three bystanders dragged him away.
In front of the small crowd that had gathered, Shaik shouted
to Ismail ‘As a Muslim, you should not be rushing
to the hospital but should be in the mosque praying.’
Several times he broke free of those trying
to restrain him and hit Ismail again, before storming off
in his vehicle.
Bystanders then told Ismail who Shaik was,
and advised him to not take the matter further because of
‘the influence that Shaik had.’

For all those who
posted negative comments and emailed me about the
folly of my article ‘South
Africa Needs a Dictator,’ here is living
and very healthy proof of how criminals are treated
and allowed to behave in South Africa. |
"That was no sick man who hit me. He
was very much alive and forceful," said Ismail.
