"Jackie did not fake his illness"

Former police chief, Jackie Selebi was submitted to hospital right after he was sentenced to 15 years behind bars after he was found guilty of taking bribes from Glen Agliotti( convicted drug dealer). The old man has suffered from many illnesses. one of the illnesses he suffered from before his trial was the kidney failure which he never said it before, he kept it a secret, "He was being treated long before his trial by a very [well] known physician," vice chairperson of medical parole, Angelique Coetzee said. I personally think if he had said it before people would have thoughht he is trying to cover himself or it is some sort of bribary for the judgement. The parole board has aggreed tha the old man is not getting special attention from the staff or anyone involved. He is taken like any other inmate.
