ANGER OVER GOLDIN & BLOOM CONVICT’S PAROLE BID
Advertorial
After serving just five years and five months, Davids, who testified against his co-accused in the trial, has applied for parole.
Davids admitted to being involved in the hijacking of Bloom’s car at gunpoint but claimed that he was not present when Goldin and Bloom were killed.
“To me, the hijackers are the source of it all,” Goldin told Mambaonline. “They are creating the supply to feed the demand and I feel that they should have let Brett and Richard go once they had both their car keys and their possessions,” she said.
Two other men, Shavaan Marlie and Clinton Davids, pleaded guilty to murder and were each sentenced to 28 years in prison.

Yet again there’s no justice in South Africa. I hope his family and everyone with means will fight this tooth and nail, I for one will be signing the petition.
Please sign the petition. Take a stand. Justice must prevail. They must servce their full sentence.
for heavens sake, how can this even be considered?? Is it ok to hijack? is it ok rob? Is this how our justice systems punishes these crimes by heaven forbid allowing parole after just 5 and a half months? if this proceeds we will have every hijacker demanding parole and where will we be then? Nurshad admitted guilt. I don’t care how good a prisoner he is nor on what grounds he is eligible for a parole hearing, it cannot be granted. It is an insult to every police officer and prosecutor to allow this. It defiles their hard work in ensuring criminals are put away. Last, granting it just will affirm what so many of us believe- life is cheap in south africa, there is no sanctity of life and you can literally get away with crime. Is this what you want citizens and felons to believe? What will that do to crime levels?
