Shaik was found guilty in June 2005 of paying Zuma about 1.3 million rand ($169,900) to help advance his business interests and of trying to solicit a 500,000 rand a year bribe for Zuma from a French arms firm in return for protection from a government probe.
Shaik's defense argued on Monday the state had not followed the correct approach in interpreting the relationship between their client and Zuma, and had not proved beyond reasonable doubt that that relationship was corrupt, local media said.
Shaik, who did not attend the first day of the hearing in the central city of Bloemfontein, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for two counts of corruption and one of fraud.

 Shaik still faces 15 years
Shaik had been sentenced to 15 years in prison on each of the two corruption counts, and another three years for fraud.
On the fraud charge, Shaik was granted leave to challenge a finding that he had discussed with his auditors the irregular write-off of loans, some of which had been to Zuma.
Should Shaik fail in his bid to the SCA on the other two counts, Squires said, there would be no merits for interfering with the sentences he had imposed.
