GAUTENG premier Mbhazima Shilowa visited the Eikenhof Three in Johannesburg prison on Tuesday to show the African National Congress’ support for the convicts, all members of the organisation. “We are slowly moving to a situation where their innocence will be proven and hopefully they will be cleared,” Shilowa said, posing for the cameras with the three men outside the entrance to the Medium C section of the prison after holding talks with them inside for half an hour. “We came here to get a sense of what issues they would like us to take into account,” he said. Shilowa said he had told Siphiwe James Bholo, Sipho Samuel Gavin and Boy Titi Ndweni that their lawyers had applied for bail so that they could return home and prepare for their retrial. Their lawyers had discussed the request for bail with the Judge President and were hoping a date for a hearing would be set soon.
