Prophet no poster boy for forfeiture critics
Robert Vivian writing in Business Day on 13 March 2007Â uses the case of Simon Prophet as an example of how our courts collude in flouting rights by allowing the application of civil asset forfeiture legislation. Yet his argument contains inaccuracies and elisions of truth. Jean Redpath of Hlakanaphila Analytics puts the record straight and argues that in the case of Simon Prophet, justice was done.
