You can't feel sorry for the Shaiks. This family of liars, bribers and theives (sic) are the very antithesis of hard work and effort.

Mo and Schabir have their own problems, and now former Doctor, Chippy Shaik has had "his" doctoral thesis judged plagiarised, and his degree taken away from him. He copied the original thesis of his supervisor (sic) , originally published in Russian, with his supervisors full knowledge.

It seems that the Shaiks are the worst kind of opportunists. The sort of people who aren't willing to work for anything, and instead rather choose to bribe themselves to positions of power and wealth. Thankfully, I believe, they are an anomaly. They denegrate (sic) the very principles behind empowerment that they are so keen on "super-sizing": unhappy with the natural process of empowerment, the Shaiks are clearly the kind of sleazy dealers who accentuate African countries demises.

I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't all holders of foreign passports, so if things get hot in SA, they'll just move onto the next nation the family aims to strip mine.

Lying is a foul game, and the Shaiks don't seem to be able to do anything but lie. It is Shakespearean in its dimensions; that so many brothers could be engaged in such continuous wholesale deception, in such a broad area of activities which should be based on trust: academics, government appropriations, business.

Its interesting that there is no means to extradite a whole family of citizens; for if there were such a mechanism, can anyone question the assertion that the Shaiks would surely be on the top of many South Africans list.
