Friends of the Inner-city Forum Condemns the Granting of Bail to Mr James O'Shea
Friends of the Inner-city Forum Condemns the Granting of Bail to Mr James O'Shea
Friday , 17 July 2009
Residents in the inner-city are riled and angry at the Decision of Magistrate PR du Plessis to grant Mr. James O'Shea bail of R50.000 on who he said was not a flight risk because he had "substantial assets" in the country. Did the magistrate consider that the substantial assets may be proceeds of crimes committed against poor people?
Hijacking of buildings in the inner-city is a big problem , as residents who have time and again felt the brunt of these hijackers, we are angry that he has been released on bail and is free to interfere with the proceedings . We will not stand idle while Mr. O'Shea and his Ilk reverse the gains made in housing.
We are also preparing our residents to declare war against the Department of Justice, which is continuing to grant Building Hijackers and Conspirators bail when they continue to leave a trail of homeless families . We further call on the Minister of Justice to take action against those senior officials and magistrate who continue to give bail to Building Hijackers. This country belongs to all of us, not only to those who have money.
We also want to commend The police for sterling work in investigating and eventually arresting Mr. O'Shea, The biggest let-down has been the justice system. On August 21,the victims of Mr. O'Shea will be mobilized to be out in full force at the courts to make sure this travesty is Reversed .
