NATIONAL NEWS - A journalist claims that President Jacob Zuma's former financial advisor, Schabir Shaik, swore at him, threatened to headbutt him and said ‘I will break you white boy’.

Giordano Stolley says the abuse came after he phoned Shaik to ask him if he was going back into business.

Shaik was released on medical parole in 2009 after being convicted of paying Zuma a bribe.

Stolley says the conversation started off politely until he told Shaik that the conversation was on the record.
