Bedfordview wants Krejcir gone
The Democratic Alliance in Ekurhuleni will table a petition to Parliament demanding that government gets fugitive Radovan Krjecir out of Bedfordview and "onto a plane to his home country of Czech Republic".
In a statement released today the opposition party stated that the ANC has an obligation to keep South African residents safe.
“Bedfordview residents are living in an underworld cloud of South Africa’s very own ‘Al Capone’,” the DA stated.
Bedfordview ward councillor, Clr Michele Clarke, said anyone living in, or travelling through, Bedfordview should not have to worry about being blown up or hit by a stray bullet.
“The saga around Krejcir – and before him, murdered Teaser’s boss, Lolly Jackson – is seriously harming the reputation Bedfordview holds for being an established, attractive and relatively safe area in which to live and work,” said Clr Clarke.
Clr Clarke said that while the body count was rising at a staggering pace, it was a miracle that not more innocent bystanders had been killed by stray bullets fired by people who clearly had little regard for the lives of innocent South Africans.
She said that while she understood there was a complicated legal process to follow as well as delicate international relations to take into account, it was imperative that the South African government acted swiftly and decisively in this case to protect its citizens.
Clr Clarke said she would facilitate a petition to be signed by Bedfordview’s residents and, hopefully, hundreds of thousands more supportive South Africans, to be tabled in Parliament, as well as use all means possible to persuade the South African government to take this threat seriously.
“Yesterday’s bomb blast occurred next door to a school and close to one of South Africa’s most popular malls.   These tit-for-tat executions and assassinations have the huge potential to cause tragedy. Besides the physical danger this group of ‘associates’ poses to innocent people, events like these will surely start affecting property values and the likelihood that people will want to buy property or invest in businesses in Bedfordview. It is government’s responsibility to ensure that an individual does not wield such negative power over us all,” said Clr Clarke.

It will be difficult to send Krejcir back to Czechoslovakia, considering the country ceased to exist in 1993.
DEPORT HIM!!!
I’m happy to see that my first comment led to a correction of the name of the country, now just add the article “the Czech Republic” and send him back here (I live in the Czech Republic) to face justice and I’ll be even happier.
What if it was a South African. Let’s be realistic hear and find the route couse analysis. We have got a lot of this incidents taking place in shacks and locations and police have always been handy, to me Bedford View is not different to Alexandra and other town ships. All amimals must be treated the same in the Zoo.
He should be deported. What a shame this guy is.
I do not understand why action is only taken now? I want to see how far this Councillor gets. For other municipal matters I tried contacting her a long while ago and still waiting for a response. Maybe because elections aare coming up soon a feeble attempt will be made.
I want to see how this will happen? With many people in each others pockets in this country the probability of success is nil. Councillor rather concentrate on keeping the streets clean and maintained. Deadfordview is already looking like a squatter camp in most places where Council doesn’t even give a damn!
Sometimes I have to laugh at the arrogance of communities. Bedfordview has marketed itself as a very rich area and, unfortunately, not all money is made legally. Anyone who has the money to buy in an area, can and will. Unless there are application forms that need to be filled in to apply for residency, you have to just accept that not everybody is above board. There may be a serial rapist living next door…
I can see exactly what is happening already with his court appearances. If convicted of anything he will apply for medical parole and be out before you know it! Isn’t that the story of South Africa? Then we will see him in shopping centres and playing golf like other criminals we know of!
I am aware of at least 1 property deal so far that has been cancelled as a result of this situation. Overseas investors are running scared.
